Bioreactor breakthrough boosts bioethanol production, transforming energy landscape.
The study looked at how bioethanol is made using yeast cells in a special bioreactor. When the cells are stuck in one place, it can be harder for the ingredients to move around, which can slow down the process. The researchers found that the size of the particles and how many there are can affect how well the bioethanol is made. Bigger particles make it harder for the ingredients to move, but having more particles helps the process.
