Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and colleagues have engineered a new strain of the yeast S. Since removing residual ionic liquid after deconstruction is an added step incurring added expense, the new strain by itself could lower the costs of making biofuels.
