Item Engineering a Multi-species Fermentation Platform for Biofuel Production(2011-11) Babson, David; Yeom, Soo-Jin; Schmidt-Dannert, ClaudiaBiodiesel production is an emerging renewable fuel technology. By using microbial consortia, the biosynthetic pathway can be divided-up among multiple microbial populations to create more efficient production processes. The mixed populations are controlled by synthetic interspecies communication circuits, and the consortia metabolism can be engineered to optimize available biomass utilization.Item Hydrothermal Carbonization of Stillage Products Generated from Corn Ethanol Production(2011-11) Wood, Brandon; Valentas, Kenneth; Heilmann, StevenHydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) is a platform thermochemical technology which utilizes high moisture content feedstocks. HTC of whole and thin stillage from the corn ethanol industry presents an opportunity to reduced energy and water usage, while diversifying value added products.
