In Michigan, researchers at Michigan State have developed a description of a new protein used in the conversion of sunlight to sugar and oxygen. The new information about how the protein, TDG4, works, could lead to the development of “super-plants” that produce high yields of biofuel. At the same time, a MSU research team is assembling a web-based genome database for bioenergy crops. The databadse, acfording to the research team, will simplify the process of developing lower-cost cellulosic ethanol.
