Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel fuel production by transesterification of oils.
TL;DR: Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters), which is derived from triglycerides by transesterification with methanol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted nucleotide editing using hybrid prokaryotic and vertebrate adaptive immune systems

TL;DR: The toxicity associated with the nuclease-based CRISPR/Cas9 system was greatly reduced in the Target-AID complexes, and it was demonstrated that off-target effects were comparable to those of conventional CRISpr/Cas systems, with a reduced risk of indel formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted base editing in rice and tomato using a CRISPR-Cas9 cytidine deaminase fusion

TL;DR: A fusion of CRISPR-Cas9 and activation-induced cytidine deaminase (Target-AID) for point mutagenesis at genomic regions specified by single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in two crop plants demonstrates the feasibility of base editing for crop improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioethanol production using carbohydrate-rich microalgae biomass as feedstock.
TL;DR: Findings indicate the feasibility of using carbohydrate-producing microalgae as feedstock for fermentative bioethanol production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic saccharification, and direct fermentation to ethanol, of amorphous cellulose by use of an engineered yeast strain codisplaying three types of cellulolytic enzyme.
TL;DR: A whole-cell biocatalyst with the ability to induce synergistic and sequential cellulose-degradation reaction was constructed through codisplay of three types of cellulolytic enzyme on the cell surface of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, indicating that simultaneous and synergistic saccharification and fermentation of amorphous cellulose to ethanol can be efficiently accomplished.
