A Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based ethanol company, Poet, has finalized an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy to build one of the nation's first cellulosic ethanol plants, according to West Central Tribune. The company is Poet and the plant is likely to come on stream, in 2011, according to the report.
There is some research which suggests that total ethanol yield obtained by fermenting starch and both fiber fractions was 0.370 L/kg compared with ethanol yield of 0.334 L/kg obtained by fermenting starch alone. That's about a 10% yield increase.

I am interesting in Plant Sciences. I have already a MS in Agronomy and currently, I am working on another Master in Biochemistry and Biotechnology. I am very interested in any program on Biofuels or Medicinal plants. Currently, I am looking for a program in which I can get involve for my PhD research. I am interesting in transferring to another university where I can be involved in research toward my PhD. I would like to have your help to connect me to any teacher that may be interest in me.
