New method for creating interspecies yeast hybrids could boost biofuels production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a simple, robust, and efficient method for generating interspecies yeast hybrids. In nature, the odds of a similar hybridization event are, conservatively, one in a billion. We can achieve hybrids at rates of one in a thousand cells. Alexander, David Peris, Brandon T.
