Maringa, Parana, Brazil Charles D. Scott Award Charles D. Scott Award Through the course of his professional career, Tom Jeffries has worked on many aspects of bioenergy and biomass conversion. Tom’s fundamental interest in primary productivity is refl ected in his MS work with photosynthetic bacteria from 1969-1971 and in his work at on the biophotolytic production of hydrogen by blue-green algae. During doctoral studies on yeast cell wall lysis at Rutgers University from 1972-1975, Tom had the good fortune of working with James D. Macmillan, Elwin Reese, Mary Mandels and Doug Eveleigh, all of whom spurred a life-long interest in enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose, hemicellulose and complex polysaccharides. While at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1976-1977, Tom worked with a highly interdisciplinary team to assess the magnitude of the U.S. biomass resource. In post-doctoral studies with Harry Gregor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University from 1978-1979, Tom developed membrane-coupled anaerobic fermentations of cellulose for the production of methane and short chain organic acids. In 1979, Tom joined Kent Kirk at the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) where he worked for several years on the regulation of lignin biodegradation. In the early 1980’s the FPL ethanol program under the guidance of Jerry Saeman enabled Tom to return to studies on yeast physiology and regulation. His research into the oxygen requirements for yeast xylose fermentations has continued to this day. This has led to increased knowledge of xylose metabolism and improved recombinant yeasts, especially Pichia stipitis. Tom has also mentored many students both at FPL and the University of Wisconsin. In this Symposium, Tom has served in many roles since the earliest meetings. Tom’s life has been blessed by the support and encouragement of his wife, Giovanna Miceli-Jeffries and by the love of their three daughters, Angelica, Carla and Francesca. 25th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals Program and Abstracts i ii Program and Abstracts 25th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals 25th Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals Program and Abstracts iii Schedule at a Glance ��������� �� ������������� ��� ����� ��� ��������� Conference Program ������ �� ��� �������� ��������� ������ ���������� Sunday, May 4, 2003 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Registration/Editor’s Desk Open Foyer, 3rd Floor 10:00 am - 8:00 pm Poster Session/Exhibits Set-up Breckenridge Ballroom 1:00 am - 1:10 pm Opening Remarks Peaks 1 - 5, 3rd Floor 1:10 pm - 5:00 pm Session 1A and Session 1B (Concurrent Sessions) Peaks 1 - 5, 3rd Floor 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm Welcoming Reception Lower Pool Area Monday, May 5, 2003 7:30 am - 5:00 pm Registration/Editor’s Desk Open Foyer, 3rd Floor 7:15 am - 8:00 am Continental Breakfast South Foyer, 3rd Floor 7:15 am - 8:00 am Speakers’ Breakfast Peak 6 - 7, 2nd Floor 8:00 am - 12:00 pm Session 2 Peaks 1 - 5, 3rd Floor 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Lunch On Your Own 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Special Topics Peaks 1 - 5, 3rd Floor Session A and Session B (Concurrent Sessions) 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm Poster Reception Breckenridge Ballroom Tuesday, May 6, 2003 7:30 am - 1:00 pm Registration/Editor’s Desk Open Foyer, 3rd Floor 7:15 am - 8:00 am Continental Breakfast South Foyer, 3rd Floor 7:15 am - 8:00 am Speakers’ Breakfast Peak 6 - 7, 2nd Floor 8:00 am - 12:00 pm Session 3 Peaks 1 - 5, 3rd Floor 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Organizing Committee Luncheon and Meeting Peak 6 - 7,

    2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow.

  • Global Environmental Conference -Gpec 2005 Creating Sustainability for the Environment
    GPEC 2005 Paper Abstract #14: Title: DuPont Sorona® Polymer: A New Sustainable Platform for Growth Author(s): Joseph Kurian, Randy Milby, Ray Miller, Bio-Based Materials, DuPont Company, Experimental Station E402/4311 Wilmington, Delaware 19880, USA E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 302-695-7220 ABSTRACT Responding to environmental, sustainability, business and market needs, DuPont has commercialized a new polymer platform, Sorona®, based on 1,3-propanediol. Sorona® polymer can be shaped into fibers and other articles to offer a unique combination of properties and value to customers. Retrofittable Sorona® polymerization and process technology enables manufacturers of apparel and specialty engineering resins to use their existing assets to make new, higher-value products to meet customer needs. DuPont Tate & Lyle Bioproducts, LLC, an equally owned company between DuPont and Tate & Lyle, recently announced plans to create products from renewable resources for numerous applications including clothing, interiors, engineering polymers and textile fibers. The company is constructing its initial commercial manufacturing plant in Loudon, TN., with startup scheduled for 2006. Because corn is a renewable resource, and can be produced anywhere in the world, PDO becomes less expensive to manufacture. Demand for Sorona® polymer is growing in fibers, engineering thermoplastics, films, and several other markets. DuPont has licensed Sorona® fiber technology to a number of manufacturers for applications development. This presentation will highlight Sorona® polymer work focused toward engineering thermoplastics. From corn to polymer to future, Sorona® offers a multitude of advantages. Learn all about the advantages Sorona® offers by visiting http://www.dupont.com/sorona GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE -GPEC 2005 CREATING SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Presentation Title DuPont Sorona® Polymer: A New Sustainable Platform for Growth Joseph V.
