Study of Giant Grass May Lead to Better Corn Yields and Biofuels Revolution

A giant perennial grass used as a biofuels source has a much longer growing season than corn, and researchers think they’ve found the secret of its success. Their findings offer a promising avenue for developing cold-tolerant corn, an advance that would significantly boost per-acre yields

Microbiological Treatment Can Remove Selenium Pollution

A new study funded by the European Union has demonstrated that unsafe levels of selenium, sometimes referred to as an “essential toxin”, can be reduced by a microbiological treatment. With this method, microorganisms reduce selenate to the less-toxic elemental selenium, which can potentially be recovered from the process. An estimated 0.5 to 1 billion people worldwide suffer from selenium deficiency, even though many live near areas where levels of selenium have reached toxic levels.
