Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production
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. cerevisiae that is more resistant to the toxic effects of ionic liquids (ILs) used to generate sugars from lignocellulose. —Jeff Piotrowski, senior author. —Dickinson et Read Full Article Here For…
