Boosting Galactan Sugars Could Boost Biofuel Production
JBEI's Henrik Scheller led a collaboration that identified the first enzyme linked to galactan synthesis. Galactan is a six-carbon sugar that can be readily fermented by yeast.
Discovery resurrects process to convert sugar directly to diesel.
A long-abandoned fermentation process once used to turn starch into explosives can be used to produce renewable diesel fuel
JBEI Startup to Speed Up Biotech Industry
TeselaGen Biotechnology, founded by JBEI’s Nathan Hillson and two partners, says it will significantly reduce the time and cost involved with DNA synthesis and cloning.
