Using Hydrogen Sulfide and CO2 to Drive Production of Renewable Fuels and Chemicals
In a Metabolic Engineering Communications paper entitled “Enhanced fatty acid production in engineered chemolithoautotrophic bacteria using reduced sulfur compounds as energy sources” researchers at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have demonstrated a promising biological approach to convert nuisance chemicals in municipal wastewater (sewage) treatment plants into renewable fuels or chemicals.

JBEI Scientists Harness CO2 to Consolidate Biofuel Production Process
JBEI scientists have shown that adding carbon dioxide gas during the deconstruction phase of biofuel production successfully neutralized the toxicity of ionic liquids. The technique, which is reversible, allows the liquid to be recycled, representing a major step forward in streamlining the biofuel production process. Read more on the Berkeley Lab Newscenter

ABPDU Featured in New Cyclotron Road Video
The Advanced Biofuels Process Demonstration Unit (ABPDU) is featured in the new Cyclotron Road video. Cyclotron Road located at Berkeley Lab is a home for top entrepreneurial researchers to advance technologies until they can succeed beyond the research lab. The Visolis project led by Deepak Dugar which aims at the bio-based production of carbon-negative, high-performance polymers, proved its process at ABPDU’s 300 liter scale fermenters. Watch the video here.

Bissell Honored with Medals from Two Societies for Outstanding Achievements
The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is honoring Mina Bissell, Distinguished Scientist in the Biological Systems & Engineering Division, for her lifetime contributions to cell biology. In recognition of her key discovery that the role of the tumor microenvironment plays a part in the development of breast cancer, Bissell will receive their highest scientific honor, the E.B. Wilson Medal, at the ASCB Annual Meeting in San Francisco this December. This latest accolade comes just months after Bissell received the 2015 STS/CSS Honorary Medal from the Signal Transduction Society (STS) and the STS Journal Cell Communication and Signaling (CSS) in…
