Hello Greg and April --
Interesting history -- Weizmann in WWI developed the anaerobic fermentation
process that led to providing fuel for their war effort. A Texas A&M
engineering
type has done some work on the process claiming considerable improvement in
yield.
Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952), Zionist leader and later (1948-1952) first
president of Israel, was in his "daytime" professional life a pioneering
bio-organic chemist (nowadays best remembered for the acetone-butanol
fermentation process)
Best, Dick
