A new plant monolignol has been identified and associated changes in upstream lignin precursors that together result in the reduced recalcitrance of cell walls to enzymatic or biocatalyst breakdown for the release of biochemical components, including constituent sugars.
The invention improves upon a prosthetic limb design relating to a compact hydraulic gimble that resides between the socket and prosthetic device. In a conventional prosthesis a socket is included for accepting an amputated limb.
This disclosure describes a novel swallowable capsule device. The novel swallowable capsule device that provides controlled sampling and storage of digesta from a specific location in the gastrointestinal tract. Control of sample can be achieved by clinical guided
It is well known that biomass has primarily two source of fermentable carbohydrates, cellulose and hemicellulose, and research has been underway for decades aimed at both depolymerizing these complex carbohydrates and ferment them to products of interest such as fuels and chem
Microbial ethanol tolerance has been thought to be a complex and likely a multigenic trait. To date, little progress has been made in identification of key genetic changes that confer enhanced ethanol tolerance.
The separation of low molecular weight organics using a robust inorganic nanoporous membrane with tailored properties is an innovative approach for the high temperature pretreatment of cellulosic biomass.
The terms nanoparticle, nanotube, nanowire or generally nanomaterials are used to describe a broad class of zero (particles) and one-dimensional (tube or wire) single or composite material architectures that possess at least one functional dimension below 100nm (a few hundred
Engineers seek to use biological design principles to manipulate information and import new functionality to synthetic devices.
Tomographic imaging of awake, unrestrained animals or humans during a scan can result in blurring and unusable 3D images due to motion.
In this disclosure, we demonstrate that a Zymomonas mobilis global regulator confers enhanced tolerance to sodium acetate, reactive oxygen species generated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and vanillin.
