Rutgers researchers cut enzyme cost for biofuel production
Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Michigan State University have developed a method for reducing the amount of enzymes needed to turn biomass into biofuels. The team has demonstrated how to design and genetically engineer enzyme surfaces so they bind less to corn stalks and other cellulosic biomass, reducing enzyme costs.
