NOVEMBER 8, 2021
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. Microorganisms have evolved a bewildering array of techniques to obtain nutrients from their surrounding environments. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

By supplying plants with the precise amount of water, nutrients, and light, indoor farming creates an ideal environment for their growth. New systems including LED grow lights provide specific wavelengths that promote photosynthesis and optimize plant growth. They can optimize their production and get feedback in real time.”
