![Engineers Develop New Yeast Strain to Enhance Biofuel and Biochemical Production](https://che.utexas.edu/wp-content/uploads/Cells-for-biofuels-300x208.jpg)
Researchers in the Alper Lab have used a combination of metabolic engineering and directed evolution to develop a new, mutant yeast strain that could lead to a more efficient biofuel production process that would make biofuels more economically competitive with conventional fuels. Their findings were published online in the journal Metabolic Engineering in March.
