متن کاملFermentative production of butanol--the industrial perspective.
A sustainable bacterial fermentation route to produce biobutanol is poised for re-commercialization. Today, biobutanol can compete with synthetic butanol in the chemical market. Biobutanol is also a superior biofuel and, in longer term, can make an important contribution towards the demand for next generation biofuels. There is scope to improve the conventional fermentation process with solvent...
متن کامل9TH BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETY OF KENYA ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM Review Agricultural genomics and sustainable development: perspectives and prospects for Africa
The genomes of various organisms have now been fully sequenced, including human and representative microbial, insect, animal and plant genomes. The research challenge in the post-genome era is to establish how genes and proteins function to bring about changes in phenotype. Some of these phenotypes, and products obtainable through modern biotechnology, are of crucial importance within the conte...
