bioconversion

It is one of the plants with the highest bioconversion efficiency.

"Bioconversion of wood wastes by white rot edible fungi".

More recently, the endosymbionts that are found in the gills have been subject to study the bioconversion of cellulose for fuel energy research.

Their system of bioconversion is about 400 times more productive than any other plant-based system producing oil or ethanol.

Another important application of Rhodococcus comes from bioconversion, using biological systems to convert cheap starting material into more valuable compounds.

C. elegans can be used for phenanthrene bioconversion or for steroid transformation.

The bioconversion of biomass to mixed alcohol fuels can be accomplished using the MixAlco process.

One step is the bioconversion of Progesterone to 11-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone by Rhizopus nigricans.

Moreover, researchers integrated bioconversion capabilities into the electrodeionization platform, which used electricity to capture very dilute charged products from the process stream.

Other countries known to be interested in bioconversion to ethanol include Australia (cassava) and New Zealand (beet).

During the bioconversion process, the lignin fraction of switchgrass can be burned to provide sufficient steam and electricity to operate the biorefinery.

Given the abundance of xylose and its potential for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to renewable fuels, Pichia stipitis has been extensively studied.

Because they metabolize anethole into several aromatic chemical compounds, some bacteria are candidates for use in commercial bioconversion of anethole to more valuable materials.

MixAlco process - involves the bioconversion of biomass to mixed alcohol fuels, industrial chemicals, and hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and jet fuel.

Generally speaking, the direct firing of switchgrass for thermal applications can provide the highest net energy gain and energy output-to-input ratio of all switchgrass bioconversion processes.

Through bioconversion of biomass to a mixed alcohol fuel, more energy from the biomass will end up as liquid fuels than in converting biomass to ethanol by yeast fermentation.

It has been used to produce isoapocodeine from 10,11-dimethoxyaporphine, triptoquinone from the synthetic abietane diterpene triptophenolide or for the rational and economical bioconversion of antimalarial drug artemisinin to 7beta-hydroxyartemisinin.

It authorizes appropriations for FY2005-FY2007 for a resource center to develop bioconversion technology using low-cost biomass for the production of ethanol at the Center for Biomass-Based Energy at the Mississippi State University and the Oklahoma State University.

Holder of a Master's degree in biochemistry (1997) and another one in enzyme engineering, microbiology and bioconversion, Vanessa Proux graduates from University of Technology of Compiègne in October 2001 (Doctorate in enzyme engineering, microbiology and bioconversion).
