Microbiologists aim to optimize bioethanol production

Source : sciencedaily.com

Food versus fuel, this rivalry is gaining significance against a backdrop of increasingly scarce farmland and a concurrent trend towards the use of biofuels. Researchers at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) are helping to resolve this rivalry: They are working to effectively utilize residual field crop material - which has been difficult to use thus far - for the industrial production of bioethanol. They took a closer look at bacteria that transform cellulose into sugar, thereby increasing the energy yield from plants utilized. If this approach works, both bread and biofuel could come from the same harvest in the future.
