Microorganism breaks down phenol under extreme conditions

Scientists led by Dr Meina Neumann-Schaal of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, have characterised the breakdown of phenol by Saccharolobus solfataricus. Using methods fr...

Solar chemicals and fuels in the dark

Imagine being able to run solar powered conversion of CO2 to solar chemicals and fuels without interference from clouds or after the sun sets. Sounds impossible, like the dream of perpetual motion. However, it turns out that this is in fact possible be...

Net-Zero 1 Project

Gevo, Inc. (“Gevo”), announces the concept of Net-Zero Projects for the production of energy dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy and Gevo’s proprietary technology. The concept of a Net-Zero Project is to convert renewable energy (photosynt...

Biocatalysis in Green and Blue: Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to harvest the Sun’s energy to bind atmospheric CO 2 and accumulate biomass. This ability renders cyanobacteria interesting hosts for sustainable industrial processes.The photoautotrophic metabolism allows a constant su...
