Novel Enzyme from Tiny Gribble Could Prove a Boon for Biofuels Research

2013-06-11 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Researchers from the U.K., NREL, and the University of Kentucky have published a paper describing novel cellulose-degrading enzyme from a marine wood borer Limnoria quadripunctata, commonly known as the gribble. Gribbles exhibit a relatively unique ability to produce their own enzymes instead of using symbiotic microbes to break down the biomass they eat. New biomass-degrading enzymes from novel sources such as the gribble may prove beneficial to biofuels industry. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:
