Solvent Disruption of Biomass and Biomembranes
The Solvent Disruption of Biomass and Biomembrane Structures in the Production of Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Science Focus Area (SFA) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies how solvents affect plant cell walls and microbial membranes. The goal is to improve biomass pretreatment and microbial fermentation for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bioproducts.
