چکیده
Method for the production of isobutanol http://www.freshpatents.com/Method-for-the-productionof-isobutanol-dt20081106ptan20080274526.php This patent describes a biological process for making isobutanol using recombinant bacteria. Isobutanol can be chemical modified to make a range of fuels and chemicals. Benzene free routes to aromatics http://www.frostchemlab.com/green-Synthesis.htm Fermentation proceses can be used to make aromatic ring compounds in reasonably high yield. This offers an alternative to petroleum-based feedstocks for benzene and its derivatives.

متن کاملExoelectrogenic biofilm as a template for sustainable formation of a catalytic mesoporous structure.
Mesoporous structures can increase catalytic activity by maximizing the ratio of surface area to volume, but current synthesis techniques utilize expensive polymers and toxic chemicals. A Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilm was used as a sustainable template to form mesoporous Pd structures while eliminating the need for synthetic chemicals. The bulk of the biofilm material was removed by thermal ...

Cardaria draba is an important, troublesome weed in the sustainable production of wheat. Inthe first step of this study, 100 actinomycete isolates were purified from soil samples collectedfrom the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of plants in different provinces of Iran. All isolates weresubjected to primary screening by assaying the fermentation broth of the sterile surfaces of C.draba leaves. Con...
متن کاملEngineering cell factories for producing building block chemicals for bio-polymer synthesis
Synthetic polymers are widely used in daily life. Due to increasing environmental concerns related to global warming and the depletion of oil reserves, the development of microbial-based fermentation processes for the production of polymer building block chemicals from renewable resources is desirable to replace current petroleum-based methods. To this end, strains that efficiently produce the ...
