Abstract

In 2010 our group reported the discovery of two cellodextrin transporter families, and soon after demonstrated the utility of these transporters in the production of lignocellulosic biofuel. These discoveries required diverse insights from multiple research groups, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary teams to tackle the most pressing research problems in bioenergy.
