New genetic engineering technique improves enzyme?s ability to breakdown biomass

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Georgia have developed a new genetic engineering technique significantly to improve an enzyme’s ability to break down biomass. It’s a matter of conversion efficiency. We’re trying to capture that 30 percent.
