Research: Estonian scientists create model that helps turn waste into food

Using microbes as biocatalysts to convert easily available biomass resources into valuable chemicals is one strategy for transitioning to a biobased, circular economy. Researchers from Tallinn University of Technology have developed a new model to increase the efficiency of food production from biomass, with red yeast serving as a key "helper" in this process.
