Favorable opinion regarding Distillers Grains produced using XyloFerm®

The expert panel convened by Taurus Energy has issued a favorable opinion regarding Distillers Grains (animal feed) produced using XyloFerm®.The Panel concludes, independently and collectively, that the process utilizing the modified strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae XyloFerm strain Taurus13 produces DG grains with nutrient profiles comparable to DG described in the peer-reviewed literature. The Panel further concluded that, in those instances where the DG generated using the modified strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibited higher nutrient concentrations than the control, the

Update regarding comparative feed study

Status Update

Syngenta & Quad County Corn Processors planning XyloFerm® trials Cellerate™ is a process that allows for production of cellulosic ethanol from corn kernel fiber, marketed in a collaboration between Syngenta, with US Seed headquarters in Minnesota, and Quad County Corn Processors (QCCP), Galva Iowa. It is a “bolt-on” system designed to be added to existing plants and the process has been shown to boost ethanol production by 26 % when used in combination with Syngenta’s Enogen® corn. Production gains may be boosted even further by the addition of a co-fermenting (C5/C6) yeast to the
