Making Biofuel Cheaper: New Yeast Strategy
Yeast is an inexpensive means to transform corn and other promising crops into biofuels like ethanol. However, too much ethanol can be toxic to yeast, which severely limits the production capacity of the microbial fungi. Now, researchers from MIT are saying that they have solved the toxicity riddle, developing a strategy that allows yeast to make ethanol en masse without suffering the consequences.
