Sentences with phrase «of isobutanol»

The advantage of isobutanol, he said, is that unlike some other biofuels, it does not freeze at 15,000 feet and continues burning very well in the subzero temperatures as high as 35,000 feet.

Moreover, among all the engineered strains examined, the strain with the combined modification V461I / S286T showed the highest (2.4 times) improvement of isobutanol - to - 3M1B molar ratio, which was due to a decrease of the activity towards 3M1B production.

They managed to suppress the yeast's evolutionary self - interest by genetically engineering it to produce large quantities of isobutanol.

But while those enzymes are active, ones that influence the production of isobutanol can't work.

Not exact matches

Efforts to make isobutanol from bacteria alone have been underway since 2000 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) began distributing grants to universities that could demonstrate successful production of liquid biofuels.

In one case, turning on and off a blue light caused the special yeast to alternate between producing ethanol, a product of normal fermentation, and isobutanol, a chemical that normally would kill yeast at sufficiently high concentration.

The researchers predicted they could use a combination of genetic engineering and light to fine tune isobutanol production.

A team of researchers at Princeton University has developed a way to cause yeast to produce more isobutanol, a possible candidate for use as a biofuel.

In the present study, we used protein engineering of Kivd to improve isobutanol production in Synechocystis PCC 6803.
