most forms of genetically modified yeast, at the dizzying rate of more than 1, 500 a day.
On Wednesday, Amyris announced another milestone#a memorandum of understanding with Brazil s largest low-cost airline, GOL Linhas Aereas, to begin using a jet fuel produced by yeast starting in 2014.
Much of the early hype surrounding this technology was about biofuels#the dream of engineering colonies of yeast that could produce enough fuel to power whole cities.
Reengineering yeast Since it was founded a decade ago, Amyris has become a legend in the field that sits at the intersection of biology and engineering,
Their first target was yeast. The product of millions of years of evolution, the single-celled organism was capable of a miraculous feat:
Could they tinker with some genes in the yeast to create a biological machine capable of producing medicine?
Now scientists in a lab in Denmark believe they ve created a type of vanilla flavoring produced by yeast that they say will be more satisfying to the palate and cheaper at the same time.
#oeneither brewer s or baker s yeast is identical to yeast in the wild. I m comfortable that if beer is natural,
animals and fungi, revolutionizing genetic engineering. The protein, called Cas9, is quite simply a way to more accurately cut a piece of DNA.#
A magnetometer in the device worn on the cow s head determines the animal s angle of approach.
Grasshoppers with a Side of Fungi (Op-Ed) Doug Turnbull is a hard-science-fiction writer.
Fungi specifically mushrooms are excellent low-maintenance food sources that require little or no light.
The fungi could grow in compost created using waste material from other agricultural processes as well as sanitary waste.
a devastating disease caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis. In 1999, they finally produced a tasty variety that contained the Vf defence gene,
The new plants are designed to combat wheat stem rust a fungus that used to take out a fifth of the U s.'wheat crop at once during epidemics through the 1950s.
International atomic energy agency nuclear radiated biological mutant seed enhancement amplified evolutionary adapation production against wheat rust desease for Kenyan farmers.
Not only are they tolerant of pesticides/herbicides they also produce pesticides themselves through the use of fungus
How about fungi do need mushrooms sunlight to grow? could we feed on them on a nuclear winter?
In the forests of Mount rainier national park it's the lichens that suffer first; their critical load is between 2. 5 and 7. 1 kg/ha/yr
and the deposition rate there is at a troubling 6. 7 kg/ha/yr. The lichens might not be noticed
This insects alongside some fungi bacteria and viruses cause annual loses of between four and ten percent of all the stored grains worldwide mainly corn wheat sorghum rice and beans.
At the same time the pathogens in wastewater such as viruses fungi and bacteria could destroy the algae themselves
Re-engineered yeast can now do the job in vats, so the farmers have lost their product.
