Engineering for biofuels: exploiting innate microbial capacity or importing biosynthetic potential?

29 Sep 2009 The ideal microorganism for biofuel production will possess high substrate utilization and processing capacities, fast and deregulated pathways for sugar transport, good tolerance to inhibitors and product, and high metabolic fluxes and will produce ... Read more...

A new method for water desalination using microbial desalination cells.

13 Sep 2009 Current water desalination techniques are energy intensive and some use membranes operated at high pressures. It is shown here that water desalination can be accomplished without electrical energy input or high water pressure by using a source of ... Read more...

Accounting for time-dependent effects in biofuel life cycle greenhouse gas emissions calculations.

13 Sep 2009 This paper proposes a time correction factor (TCF) to properly account for the timing of land use change-derived greenhouse gas emissions in the biofuels life cycle. Land use change emissions occur at the outset of biofuel feedstock production, and ... Read more...
