We are characterizing new yeast isolates with excellent biofuel production potential. We are engineering non-food plants with optimized characteristics for sugar extraction to improve the efficiency of biofuel production. Plant microbes that provide fixed nitrogen and enable plants to withstand a variety of stresses are being studied for improving plant growth in a sustainable manner.
