Health, Agriculture, Biofuels Impacted By Microbial Breakthrough
For the first time ever, University of Illinois researchers have discovered how microbes break down hemicellulose plant matter into simple sugars using a cow rumen bacterium as a model. This is ground-breaking research, said Isaac Cann, associate professor in the U of I Department of Animal Sciences and member of the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) in the Institute for Genomic Biology. The implications are very broad, yet it all started with a simple rumen microbe... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
