Why Use Living Cells? NLR Is Making Chemicals With Enzymes Alone - National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) (.gov)

4+ mon, 2+ day ago   (1430+ words) Today’s nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms to convert plant biomass sugars into alcohols, other biofuels, or chemicals. Chemical technologies, the second…...
