Montana State University receives $2 million to further study diesel-producing South American fungus
Montana State University professors are taking the next step in research that could make it possible to produce biofuel from wood chips using a fungus discovered in South America.
This fall, the university received a four-year, $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The money will allow faculty members at MSU and collaborators at Yale University to conduct a detailed study of the fungus Gliocladium roseum, which naturally produces gases that contain many of the same hydrocarbon compounds found in petroleum-based diesel fuel.
