Regardless of doubts in biofuel uses, the global commercial airline industry is behind such methods. Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently engineered a [C2C1Im]-tolerant E. coli strain to […]

UOP, its subsidiary, will cooperate with the National Research Council of Canada and Agrisoma Biosciences to carry out the program. Some may argue (rightfully) that corn biofuels compete for land with food crops, but Honeywell’s […]
