Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel and value added products
are globally gaining significant prominence. Market forces demonstrate a drive towards …

Hemicelluloses currently represent the largest polysaccharide fraction wasted in most
cellulosic ethanol pilot and demonstration plants around the world. The reasons are based …

Increasing energy costs and environmental concerns have emphasized the need to produce
sustainable renewable fuels and chemicals. Major efforts to this end are focused on the …

In recent years, growing attention has been devoted to the conversion of biomass into fuel
ethanol, considered the cleanest liquid fuel alternative to fossil fuels. Significant advances …

The increased concern for the security of the oil supply and the negative impact of fossil
fuels on the environment, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, has put pressure on …

Progress in our understanding of several biological processes promises to broaden the
usefulness of Escherichia coli as a tool for gene expression. There is an expanding choice …

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates in an economically feasible process
requires microorganisms that produce ethanol with a high yield from all sugars present …

Methods to regulate gene expression programs in bacterial cells are limited by the absence
of effective gene activators. To address this challenge, we have developed synthetic …

Abstract Development of biofuels from renewable resources is critical to the sustainability of
the world's economy and to slow down the global climate change. Currently, a significant …
