A research team co-led by food science and human nutrition professor Yong-Su Jin, pictured here, with bioengineering professor Ting Lu, not pictured, found a way to increase ethanol production from a ...

Syngas fermentation is emerging as a versatile method for converting inexpensive and abundant gaseous feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), into valuable ...

Researchers have designed and built equipment that can be used to investigate bacterial biofuel production at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. This technology was then used to demonstrate ...

Cellulose hydrolysis has many industrial applications in such fields as biofuel production, food, paper, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industries and textile manufacture. A novel approach to cellulose ...

As effective as fossil fuels may be, their impact on the planet cannot be overstated. Now researchers at Berkeley Lab have coaxed bacteria into directly producing a new biofuel with an energy density ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Microorganisms can be neighborly – when breaking down complex plant fibers they divide the labor and are able to sustain a diverse community, as each member gets its share of ...

A fermentation bottleneck still exists for the microbial fermentation sector, according to Swiss biotech Planetary, who is working to optimise protein and fat production with not just ‘overall ...

In 2019, Oldendorff Carriers signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Center for Bits and Atoms to investigate disruptive improvements in ship design, ...
