Knoxville TN (SPX) Jun 18, 2010Some bacteria destroy oil. Might those bacteria lead oil companies to change their methods of harvesting the energy of the oil while at the same time reducing the carbon dioxide that burning oil and gasoline discharges into the atmosphere? Steve Larter thinks that may be possible. Larter, professor of geoscience and holder of the Canada Research Chair in Petroleum Geology at the University ... more 
Madison WI (SPX) Jun 17, 2010A research team at the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) has developed a powerful new tool that promises to unlock the secrets of biomass degradation, a critical step in the development of cost-effective cellulosic biofuels. The details of this method were published online on June 11 in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Fulfilling the promise of cellulosic ... more |

Bacteria From Hot Springs Reveal Clues To Evolution Of Early Life And To Unlock Biofuels' PotentialLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 11, 2010 A bacteria that lives in hot springs in Japan may help solve one of the mysteries of the early evolution of complex organisms, according to a study publishing next week in PLoS Biology. It may also be the key to 21st century biofuel production. Biochemists Alan Lambowitz and Georg Mohr began investigating Thermosynechococcus elongatus, a cyanobacterium that can survive at temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, after they noticed an unusually high percentage of the bacteria's genetic sequence w ... read more |
