Request a copy of our SIM 33 paper "An alternative approach for making 2nd generation bioethanol viable"
Microbiogen presented "An alternative approach for making 2nd generation bioethanol viable" to the SIM 33 Biotechnology for fuels and chemicals conference held in Seattle, Washington State, USA in May. The paper reviews the performance of one of Microbiogen's non-GM Saccharomyces cerevisiae xylose-utilizing strains NREL pretreated corn stover. The paper also outlines preliminary techno-economic modelling of the impact of Microbiogen's food and fuel concept, as well as showing the need for protein feeds to meet global demands going forwards.
