UCLA engineers develop new metabolic pathway for more efficient conversion of glucose into biofuels; possible 50% increase in biorefinery yield
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 1, 2013
The wasted CO 2 leads to a significant decrease in carbon yield, the researchers observed, which results in a major impact on the overall economy of biorefinery and the carbon efficiency of cell growth. This native route is a major source of carbon loss in biorefining and microbial carbon metabolism. —Bogorad et al.
