Award List:
SBIR Phase I: One-step Production of Lactic Acid from Lignocellulosic Biomass by Recombinant Cellulolytic Bacillus subtilis
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Xiaozhou Zhang
Award Amount:
$149,980.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a new ultra-low-cost platform for the production of lactic acid directly from pretreated lignocellulosic biomass in a single step by using a novel recombinant cellulolytic Bacillus subtilis strain. Lactic acid is the precursor of… More
High-yield Production of Fumarate from Cellulosic Biomass by Recombinant Cellulolytic Bacillus subtilis
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2012 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
DOE
Principal Investigator:
Xiaozhou Zhang, Dr. – 404-293-6888
Award Amount:
$142,187.00
Abstract:
This project will provide a low-cost route for high-yield fumarate production from pretreated non-food cellulosic biomass mediated by recombinant cellulolytic Bacillus subtilis. The cellulose fraction of biomass feedstock contains more than one half oxygen by weight, making it a good starting… More
SBIR Phase I: High-Power and High-Energy-Density Enzymatic Fuel Cell through an In Vitro Synthetic Enzymatic Pathway
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2012 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Percival Zhang
Award Amount:
$150,000.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop high-power and high-energy-density enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs) that can completely oxidize low-cost maltodextrin (i.e., a partially hydrolyzed starch fragment). EFCs have received increasing interest as a next-generation,… More
