| What I'm currently reading:
| |
| | |
| Lynd, Zyl, et al. "Consolidated bioprocessing of cellulosic biomass: an update"
| |
| Current Opinion in Biotechnology 2005, 16:577-583
| |
| | |
| ---This paper gives a pretty good (though non-technical) overview of research into
| |
| consolidated bioprocessing of cellulose into ethanol, and some of the main problems
| |
| as well. If we're interested in looking at fuels, this is definitely a good paper to look at.
| |
| | |
| Jeffries, Thomas. "Engineering yeasts for xylose metabolism" Current opinion in biotechnology
| |
| 2006, 17:320-326.
| |
| | |
| ---This paper looks at turning xylose into ethanol via yeasts, and recent results in this field
| |
| of research. If we think we might not want to use bacteria, this is a good overview.
| |
| | |
| Sticklen, Mariam. "Plant genetic engineering to improve biomass characteristics for biofuels."
| |
| Current Opinion in Biotechnology 2006, 17:315-319
| |
| | |
| --Looks at problems from biomass cellulose, such as lignin, and current research into ways to treat it.
| |
| Also looks at other ways to engineer plants. I think less relevant for us, but still interesting as a way
| |
| for getting a feel of some of the issues surrounding cellulose
