TSCA and the Regulation of Renewable Chemicals
The dual national goals of reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil and greening the economy converge in biobased chemicals, the promising and rapidly evolving field of technology that produces commercial chemicals from renewable feedstocks. Although biobased chemicals have a long history, increasing sensitivity to reliance on nonrenewable feedstocks and the environmental impact of ...

Engineering pseudomonas putida s12 for efficient utilization of d-xylose and l-arabinose
The solvent-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas putida S12 was engineered to utilize xylose as a substrate by expressing xylose isomerase (XylA) and xylulokinase (XylB) from Escherichia coli. The initial yield on xylose was low (9% [g CDW g substrate–1], where CDW is cell dry weight), and the growth rate was poor (0.01 h–1). The main cause of the low yield was the oxidation of xylose into the dead-end ...

System for bioremediation of effluents
Executive Summary The remediation process of commercial, municipal, industrial and agricultural wastewaters has employed combinations of sulfuric acid, caustic, petroleum based solvents and synthetic emulsifiers, which are either toxic or generally non-biodegradable. An alternate method using naturally occurring microorganisms has been utilized for many years to facilitate the remediation ...

Waste Oil Harvested from Water Treatment Could Fuel U.S. Military Jets
Oils skimmed from wastewater treatment plant effluents could fuel military jets, according to a United States contractor developing biofuels for the government. Although Applied Research Associates (ARA) has successfully used plant matter such as mustard seed in its development of military biofuels, scientists from the private research organization are looking at other potential feedstocks, ...

Plastic Alternatives in Packaging
We hear the phrase “plastic-free world” more and more. Yes, plastics do not belong in nature but there are some inherent benefits to plastic that we cannot ignore. Plastic is needed for packaging, consumer goods, medicine, and so much more. So instead of a plastic-free world, what we need is a plastic waste-free world, and that begins with eliminating unnecessary ...
