The tools provide the fine control needed for bioenergy and sustainable agriculture efforts.

Researchers at JBEI reveal the final missing step of lysine catabolism.

The award funds research on producing a new aviation biofuel precursor from cellulosic biomass.

A new project including scientists at the Joint BioEnergy Institute could make agriculture both more sustainable and more profitable.

JBEI researchers describe how biofuels can achieve cost parity with petroleum fuels.

Scientists at UC Davis and collaborators at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have used CRISPR technology to genetically engineer rice with high levels of beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A. The technique they used provides a promising strategy for genetically improving rice and other crops.

A new study further investigates species in the Aspergillus genus, whose vast biochemical diversity makes it important for bioenergy applications.

Researchers in the Joint BioEnergy Institute, the Energy Technologies Area at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley published a study analyzing how bioenergy byproducts can be beneficial for carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas mitigation in California, when used to improve soil quality on degraded lands.

JBEI researchers convert municipal solid waste blends into chemical compounds that can be used as diesel fuel precursors.

Jay Keasling, JBEI’s chief executive officer, will be awarded the Doing a World of Good Medal by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
