Photosynthetic organisms, and especially cyanobacteria, hold great promise as sources of
renewably-produced fuels, bulk and specialty chemicals, and nutritional products. Synthetic …

Pathways regulating threonine, methionine and isoleucine metabolism are very efficiently
interconnected in plants. As both threonine and methionine serve as substrates for …

The chemical reactions that formed the building blocks of life at origins required catalysts,
whereby the nature of those catalysts influenced the type of products that accumulated …

Microorganisms directly and indirectly contribute to production of diverse biofuels.
Heterotrophic microorganisms are being used for commercial production of biofuels such as …

The need to develop and improve sustainable energy resources is of eminent importance
due to the finite nature of our fossil fuels. This review paper deals with a third generation …

Valine, leucine and isoleucine form the small group of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)
classified by their small branched hydrocarbon residues. Unlike animals, plants are able to …

Fossil fuels (crude oil, coal, and natural gas) represent the current primary source of the
world's energy supply, accounting for 87% of global energy. 1 World energy consumption is …

Microalgae, as facultative aerobic organisms, convert solar energy to produce biohydrogen
under anaerobic condition. Biohydrogen is a kind of ideal clean and renewable energy …

Photosynthesis is the biological process that converts solar energy to biomass, bio-products,
and biofuel. It is the only major natural solar energy storage mechanism on Earth. To satisfy …

In recent years considerable attention has been focused on lowering biofuel costs,
greenhouse gas emissions, and land and water resource needs, and on improving …
