Searching In The Microbial World For Efficient Ways To Produce BiofuelAlbany CA (SPX) Sep 29, 201 With the help of genetic materials from a cow's rumen, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are developing new ways to break down plant fibers for conversion into biofuel. To convert corn stover and switchgrass into biofuel, the plant fibers must first be broken down into sugars. But cell wall polymers are cross-linked in various ways that make them very resistant to breaking down, according to Dominic Wong, a chemist at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Western Regional Res ... read more |

Ames, Iowa (UPI) Sep 7, 2010 U.S. researchers say they've produced high-value chemicals from biomass rather than traditional petroleum sources. Scientists at Iowa State University looking to produce sugar derivatives from cellulose and other forms of biomass were surprised when their process yielded significant amounts of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, a university release said. "It was a real surpris ... more
