Brazilian scientists discover enzyme that could revolutionize biomass breakdown for biofuels
Publicado em 10 maio 2025In a discovery that could dramatically increase the efficiency of biofuel production, Brazilian researchers have identified a new enzyme that makes it much easier to break down cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls. This breakthrough could pave the way for large-scale production of second-generation ethanol, a cleaner alternative fuel made from agricultural waste like sugarcane bagasse and corn stalks, reports PHYS ORG. The research, led by the Brazilian Center for Research in [...]ver notícia -
