UGA-led team engineers bacterium for the direct conversion of unpretreated biomass to ethanol

Green Car Congress

A team led by Dr. Janet Westpheling at the University of Georgia has engineered the thermophilic, anaerobic, cellulolytic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii , which in the wild efficiently uses un-pretreated biomass—to produce ethanol from biomass without pre-treatment of the feedstock. Whereas wild-type C. —Chung et al.

Univ. of Georgia researchers develop new higher-yielding yeast strain for improved economics of pine-to-ethanol processes

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Georgia have developed an industrial strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which produces ethanol much more rapidly than its parent in fermentations of pretreated pine. The researchers worked with an industrial. Under industrially relevant conditions of 17.5%
