United Press International - Microorganisms key to ethanol production:
by Meredith Mackenzie, UPI correspondent
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- The secret to making ethanol production viable is invisible. Microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria are being perfected as a way to ferment cellulosic material, like corn stalks or sawdust, into transportation-grade ethanol. The future, say scientists, is already here.
'There are no technical barriers to making ethanol from woody material today,' said Lonnie Ingram, a microbiologist and professor at the University of Florida."
