...bacterial organism that would convert biomass like wood or grass into ethanol, which is used in the production of industrial chemicals. The company is also accelerating research into the mass production of vitamins and amino acids used to enrich foods. Success could cut the cost of additives in feed corn from $50 to as low as $2 a pound...

At present, nitrogen must be provided in expensive fertilizers made from increasingly costly petroleum products. But scientists using plasmids have already cloned some of the nitrogen-fixing genes found in bacteria. And in an experiment...
