Genus-wide Aspergillus project by JGI and JBEI highlights new functional genome annotation methods.

JBEI-led study unveils new source of robust cellulases in compost

JBEI's Feedstocks Division collaborated with Sandia National Laboratories in a study that looked into efficient ways to turn discarded plant matter into chemicals. 

“A Thermophilic Ionic liquid-tolerant Cellulase Cocktail for the Production of Cellulosic Biofuels” was published in 2012.

The papers were published in the BioEnergy Research journal.

Joint BioEnergy Institute study targets LigM for its role in breaking down aromatic pollutants.

Phys.org reports on JBEI finding from the Microbial Communities Group.

JBEI scientists have shown that adding carbon dioxide gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids. The technique, which is reversible, allows the liquid to be recycled, representing a major step forward in streamlining the biofuel production process.

JBEI's Seema Singh and Blake Simmons led the development of a “high-gravity” one-pot process for producing ethanol from cellulosic biomass that gives unprecedented yields while minimizing water use and waste disposal. “High gravity” means high biomass loading - the higher the biomass loading, the lower the costs for converting it to fuels.
