Researchers Develop Microbes that Produce Fuels Directly from Cellulosic Biomass
South San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2010 -- LS9, Inc, the Renewable Petroleum Company™, today announced a major breakthrough in the ability to make cellulosic-derived advanced biofuels. A collaborative team of researchers from LS9, Inc, the University of California at Berkeley, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have developed a microbe that can produce an advanced biofuel directly from cellulosic biomass in a one-step process.
Using the power of synthetic biology, the team of researchers engineered a microbe that consolidates advanced biofuels production and cellulosic bioprocessing for the first time. This breakthrough enables the production of advanced hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals in a single fermentation process that does not require additional chemical transformations.

Ι κnow thiѕ іf off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm aѕsuming having a blog like yours would сost a рrettу penny?
I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
