Modified yeast can make more ethanolChampaign, Ill. (UPI) Aug 19, 2010 A genetically modified strain of yeast with a higher tolerance for alcohol could lead to more efficient and economical biofuel production, researchers say. A University of Illinois professor of microbial genomics says the modified yeast could improve microbial fermentation of biomass crops, a process that yields the alcohol-based fuels ethanol and iso-butanol as it converts sugars from biomass into biofuels, a university release said Thursday. "At a certain concentration, the biofuels th ... read more |
