Experts Develop Engineered Yeast with Increased Healthy Fatty Acid |
|
|
|
Using fermentation, researchers from the University of Alberta produced a genetically engineered yeast with high levels of punicic acid, a healthy fatty acid commonly found in pomegranates. The study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, provides significant insights into developing a sustainable source of this valuable fatty acid along with yeast biomass.

High-yield Rice Emits up to 70% Less Methane |
|
|
|
Global methane emissions are expected to increase as global warming continues and the human population grows. Rice, one of the world's key staples, is responsible for 12 percent of global methane emissions. Now, an international team of scientists has identified chemical compounds released by rice roots that determine how much methane the plants emit.
