Researchers from Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Brazil have sequenced the genome of PE-2, a strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that thrives on turning sugarcane into ethanol. When oil prices rose to new highs in the 1970s, Brazil invested in ethanol created from the its sugar cane crops.

While barely a drop in the bucket for biofuels, Pike says, this represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 72%, roughly on par with early development in the biodiesel industry. The industry has been both bolstered and hurt by scale-up claims derived from ideal laboratory conditions. Algae’s ultimate threat is over-hype.

The oil price shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. Brazil, the largest and most populous country in South America, was importing 80% of its oil and 40% of its foreign exchange was used to pay for that imported oil. by Brian J.

The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D.
