Funded Activity Summary
Sustainable dollar notes and other polypropylenes from bioderived feedstocks. Fossil fuels provide us with the essential chemicals for our life style. The chemical industry recognizes limited supply and a need to reduce carbon emissions. Microbes are able to supply green chemicals (e.g. bio-ethanol), but efficiencies are often low. This project will develop microbes for the fermentative production of plastics from cane sugar.Funded Activity Details
