OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, May 11 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Nonfood, plant-based biofuels have potential as a green alternative to fossil fuels, but the enzymes required for production are too inefficient and costly to produce. However, new research is shining a light on enzymes from fungi that could make biofuels economically viable.
Enzymes called lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, or LPMOs, excel . . .
