We have recently worked on a range of technologies supporting the development of second generation biofuels. Recent projects include the following:
- Commercially valuable algae which have been modified to provide exceptionally rapid growth.
- An optimised pre-treatment regime to maximise bioethanol yield from second generation feedstocks.
- A database of many QTLs whose genes, alone or in combination, could offer the industry the ability to generate novel yeast strains with high resistance to acetic acid as well as other traits such as osmotic tolerance.
These project teams are currently seeking industrial partners, so please get in touch if you would like more information.
