Supercomputing meets modular design: Developing bioproducts faster and more affordably

Supercomputing meets modular design: Developing bioproducts faster and more affordably

by S. Heather Duncan | Apr 8, 2022 | Uncategorized

Microbes can produce a large array of compounds from biomass sources, like grasses, woody plants  and crop wastes, by using their own enzymes to trigger chemical changes. However, bioengineering a microbe to create each new product can take many years and a...
Study makes plant sugars more accessible for biofuel production

Study makes plant sugars more accessible for biofuel production

by S. Heather Duncan | Apr 6, 2022 | Uncategorized

Researchers collaborating through the Center for Bioenergy Innovation recently developed a way to make the sugars in plant cells more accessible for producing second-generation biofuels. The results are published in Carbohydrate Polymers. The outer walls of plant...
The cycle of light: Analyzing how cellular proteins in leaves change through day, night

The cycle of light: Analyzing how cellular proteins in leaves change through day, night

by S. Heather Duncan | Apr 4, 2022 | Uncategorized

Because next-generation biofuels will depend on the growth and hardiness of woody feedstocks, scientists have sought to better understand how leaf cells quickly respond to environmental cues such as light, temperature and water. These rapid responses take the form of...
Pectin research offers promise for medical applications of biofuel byproducts

Pectin research offers promise for medical applications of biofuel byproducts

by S. Heather Duncan | Mar 17, 2022 | Uncategorized

Scientists working through the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) are researching the role and behavior of pectin, which makes up 30 percent of some plant primary cell walls and has some unusual properties. A greater understanding of this component of plant biomass...
Scientists improve bacterial hardiness toward making valuable chemicals from lignin

Scientists improve bacterial hardiness toward making valuable chemicals from lignin

by S. Heather Duncan | Mar 9, 2022 | Uncategorized

Scientists collaborating through the Center for Bioenergy Innovation recently learned to use laboratory evolution and genetic engineering to develop a more robust strain of bacteria, better able to produce valuable chemicals out of hydroxycinnamic acids derived from...
