Bacterial contaminants of fuel ethanol production [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2004 Bacterial contamination is an ongoing problem for commercial fuel ethanol production facilities. Both chronic and acute infections are of concern, due to the fact that bacteria compete with the ethanol-producing yeast for sugar substrates and micronutrients.

Study on use of biodiesel ethanol blend as a substitute in diesel engine
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Alcohol in diesel engines can be used by two methods, one through fumigating alcohol in the combustion chamber using a carburetor and second is using alcohol and biodiesel blends. Blending of ethanol with biodiesel is easier. However, blending of ethanol

Food for fuel: The price of ethanol [PDF]
, 2012 Conversion of corn to ethanol in the US since 2005 has been a major cause of global food price increases during that time and has been shown to be ineffective in achieving US energy independence and reducing environmental impact. We make three key statements to enhance understanding and communication about ethanol production's impact on the food and ...
