Selection breeding has played a key role in the improvement of seed yield and quality in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). We genotyped Tapidor (European), Ningyou7 (Chinese) and their progenitors with the Brassica 60 K Illumina Infinium SNP array an...

Towards improved butanol production through targeted genetic modification of Clostridium pasteurianum (2017)
Journal Article
Schwarz, K., Grosse-Honebrink, A., Derecka, K., Rotta, C., Zhang, Y., & Minton, N. P. (2017). Towards improved butanol production through targeted genetic modification of Clostridium pasteurianum. Metabolic Engineering, 40, 124-137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymben.2017.01.009

Declining fossil fuel reserves, coupled with environmental concerns over their continued extraction and exploitation have led to strenuous efforts to identify renewable routes to energy and fuels. One attractive option is to convert glycerol, a by-pr... Read More about Towards improved butanol production through targeted genetic modification of Clostridium pasteurianum.
