We are very pleased with our first generation, proof-of-concept technology and are rapidly developing a second generation with yet better commercial performance characteristics. Our technology is applicable to current fuel ethanol manufacturing processes using corn and sugar cane as starting materials and also to those being developed to use cellulosic biomass. Our technology keeps cells alive in extreme conditions including those found in biomass processes.
