Next-gen biofuels based on plants like switchgrass are more sustainable than corn, but are still not very supportive of biodiversity. Researchers Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) found that complex perennial systems with diverse plants foster a diverse mix of other organisms: glbrc.org/news/when-it-c…

New issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology is out! Thank you to Tim Donohue and colleagues from Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and UW Energy Institute for the very cool #AgarArt image for our January cover 🙌🧫 journals.asm.org/toc/aem/90/1
Ben Hall wasn't satisfied with microbes that make just one product at a time, so he built one that multitasks! Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC)
If you're curious about the #ClimateCrisis and what we can do to avert it, UW–Madison's Greg Nemet laid it our brilliantly at the 2024 RENEW Wisconsin Summit youtu.be/qCOLiQoZqos?si… via YouTube
It's one thing if an organism consumes alcohol; it's another if they make it. Scientists want the bacteria Zymomonas mobilis to produce isobutanol for biofuels but it stunts the bacteria's growth. Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) & UW–Madison researchers found out why: glbrc.org/news/study-rev…
So far we've raised over $2,000 for programs like KidWind, an annual challenge for K-12 students to build wind turbines and solar devices, sparking lifelong passions for renewable energy. Let's keep up the hype! Give to WEI this #DayoftheBadger: buff.ly/4aUvq2L Wisconsin Alumni
Congrats to the HittingerLab on this landmark study, published today in Science Magazine! You can be a Jack-of-all trades and a master, too.
