Ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is produced from the biological fermentation of the starches in grains, mainly corn. It currently makes up about 10% by volume of gasoline in the United States, thereby reducing pollution as well as the use of petroleum. The oxygen atom in the ethanol molecule reduces emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons by helping to ensure complete combustion. One bushel of... 

In this paper an overview is given of all die work that is performed on the enzyme RhaninoGalacturonase by different groups (Quest Naarden, URL-Vlaardingen and LUW). The project was focussed on different areas concerning molecular biology, fermentation technology and biochemical characterization of ihamno acturonase. Also the functionality of this enzyme in different plication areas was studied. 

It may be desirable to operate in semibatch fashion in order to enhance reaction selectivity or to control the rate of energy release by reaction through manipulation of the rate of addition of one reactant. Other situations in which semibatch operation is employed include a variety of biological fermentations where various nutrients may be added at predetermined rates to achieve optimum production capacity and cases where one reactant is a gas of limited solubility that can be fed only as fast as it will dissolve. 

The study of the reactions with the participation of glycosyl bonds is important not only for the theoiy of carbohydrates structure and reactional ability of carbohydrates. They represent a significant interest and solution for a number of important problems of organic, bioorganic chemistry, and molecular biology, fermentative catalysis, since the glycosyl bond is one of the most important structural elements of many biologically active compounds.

We used the radical relay process, chlorinating C-9 and then generating the 9(11) double bond, in a synthesis of cortisone 91 [158]. This is a substitute for manufacturing processes in which C-9 or C-ll are hydroxylated by biological fermentation. Also, with templates that directed the chlorination to C-17 of 3a-cholestanol, such as that in 90, we were able to remove the steroid sidechain [159-162]. Using an electrochemical oxidation process, we could direct chlorination by simple chloride ion with an iodo-phenyl template [163]. A general review of the processes with iodophenyl templates has been published [164]. 

An example of this approach is Archer Daniels Midland, which reduced total production costs by over 60 percent by replacing traditional chemical synthesis with an advanced biological fermentation process for the manufacture of L-lysine. 

Production of hydrogen from biomass may be achieved by biological fermentation or by other bacterial or algae decomposition of water or another suitable substrate. The conversion processes may proceed in the dark or with the assistance of light. Growing the biological substance in the first place re-... 

Directed evolution can improve functional enzyme expression and even allow expression of enzymes that are otherwise difficult to produce in recombinant systems. Results obtained by directed evolution, however, will depend on the particular system, and high expression will undoubtedly be best achieved by a combined approach of molecular biology, fermentation optimization and directed evolution. 

While ethanol can be made by biological fermentation, for large-scale production the following non-biological reaction starting with ethylene and water can be used instead ... 

The pH values of wines range from 2.8 to 4.0. It is surprising to find such low, non-physiological values in a biological, fermentation medium such as wine. Indeed, life is only possible thanks to enzymes in living cells, and the optimum activity of the vast majority of enzymes occms at much higher intra-cellular pH values, close to ueutral, rather than those prevailing in extra-cellular media,...
