Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and colleagues have engineered a new strain of the yeast S. As a result, their xylose-converting strain consumed glucose and xylose faster and produced more ethanol than the wild type strain. —Dickinson et al.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Will we have a universal standard for charging? But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS. Importantly, Tesla is about to offer a converter that allows Teslas to use CCS charging sites. Our theme music is by Chad Crouch. We live in a townhouse in a row of townhouses.
