A New Hope for Sustainable Oil: Scientists Unveil Oil-Forming Yeast Species
Today, scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology have announced a major breakthrough in the field of oil production. They have discovered a species of yeast that can be used to form oil that can be used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and personal applications. This new species of yeast, known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is capable of forming oil at a much higher rate than other yeasts that have been studied in the past. The oil produced by this yeast is expected to be cost-effective and more efficient, which could lead to a greater use of this product in a variety of industries.
