Abstract
Tim Donohue is a Professor of Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as head of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (WI, USA) and a member of the Wisconsin Energy Institute Executive Committee. His research is focused on solar energy utilization by photosynthetic bacteria, studying the process and control of photosynthesis and how cells divert the energy captured from sunlight into different pathways. As a distinguished expert in microbial biofuels and one of the Senior Editors of Biofuels, Professor Donohue speaks to Ruth Williamson, Commissioning Editor of Biofuels, about emerging research for microbial fuels, the importance of bacteriology in advancing our understanding of feedstock capabilities and future perspectives on commercial opportunities for the biofuel industry.
