Fermenting corn starch to generate ethanol for fuel is a complex biochemical process that requires the monitoring of numerous parameters to ensure optimal production. Measuring these parameters using ...

New research shows how gold helps transform plant-based ethanol into useful industrial chemicals with fewer emissions and ...

A research team led by scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Northern Illinois University has discovered a new ...

Whether it's food production, medical microbiology or alcohol-fermentation, one yeast genus holds a near monopoly on research: Saccharomyces. It's "the most well-studied organism in history," ...

The metabolic process by which organisms, particularly yeasts, produce ethanol and CO 2 from sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose, & sucrose) under anaerobic conditions is called alcohol fermentation.

A large, raised, spherical tank reads "I'm green." Braskem is already making ethylene and derivatives from ethanol at scale in Brazil. Credit: Braskem Humans have a complicated relationship with ...

Most beer guts are the result of consuming fermented brew, but a new case study describes a rare syndrome that had one man’s gut fermenting brew, not consuming it. It’s called gut fermentation ...
