New Technique Improves Efficiency Of Biofuel ProductionRaleigh NC (SPX) Jul 06, 2010 Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a more efficient technique for producing biofuels from woody plants that significantly reduces the waste that results from conventional biofuel production techniques. The technique is a significant step toward creating a commercially viable new source of biofuels. "This technique makes the process more efficient and less expensive," says Dr. Ratna Sharma-Shivappa, associate professor of biological and agricultural engineering at NC Stat ... read more |

Super-Yeast Generates Ethanol From Energy Crops And Agricultural ResiduesWashington DC (SPX) Jun 15, 2010 A new type of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been developed which can efficiently ferment pentose sugars, as found in agricultural waste and hardwoods. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Biotechnology for Biofuels describe the creation of the new S. cerevisiae strain, TMB3130, which demonstrated significantly improved aerobic growth rate and final biomass concentration on sugar media composed of two pentoses, xylose and arabinose. Marie Gorwa-Grauslund, ... read more |
