Is climate change real? Yes, it is! And technologies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are being developed. One type of technology that is imperative in the short run is biofuels; however, biofuels must meet specifications for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, or catastrophic damage could occur. This course will examine the chemistry of technologies of bio-based sources for power generation and transportation fuels. We'll consider various biomasses that can be utilized for fuel generation, understand the processes necessary for biomass processing, explore biorefining, and analyze how biofuels can be used in current fuel infrastructure.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Chickens are an important source of proteins for humans. Chicken diets are therefore formulated to enhance production efficiency and human health. But few studies have explored how industrial production system parameters affect certain pathogens in the chicken gut, such as Campylobacter, the leading cause of human foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis. A recent study examined how the presence of Campylobacter in the chicken gut microbiome varied across three different production systems, one based on a normal production system, and two based on higher welfare with and without omega-3. The standard production system produced a significantly different microbial composition than the other systems, with bacteria of the genus Alistipes playing a more prominent role in the gut microbiome of chickens from the normal production system, and Eisenbergiella playing a more prominent role in the other two production systems. These bacteria play active roles in energy metabolism and nutrient uptake..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
