Session 2: Microbial Science and Technology 1 | |||
Microorganisms are powerful catalysts capable of synthesizing an ever wider range of fuels and chemicals from renewable feedstocks (sugars, synthesis gas, etc). Papers in this session will describe recent progress in developing and implementing new or improved microbes for biorefining applications. [Sessions 2 and 6] | |||
