A research team from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has performed the first-ever direct nanoscale examination of a living cell membrane.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers in collaboration with Biota Biosciences, Inc., and Elanco Animal Health are working to understand and overcome plant biomass recalcitrance by studying the bacterium Fibrobacter succinogenes S85, an active an
As an undergraduate at Toronto’s Ryerson University, Alexandru “Alex” Dumitrache initially studied chemistry and biology with an eye toward a career in medicine—until a class in industrial biotechnology opened his mind to other possibilities.
Today his wo
“Electrical” bacteria are the key ingredient in a new process developed by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory that recycles wastewater from biofuel production to generate hydrogen.

A bottleneck to breaking down woody plants for use in biofuels or other products may occur at the plant cell wall’s surface, according to a new Oak Ridge National Laboratory study.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists created an approach to get a better look at plant cell wall characteristics at high resolution as they create more efficient, less costly methods to deconstruct biomass.
