use the method to set up the world's first commercial-scale production of biomass-derived phenols. The method ferments starch with E coli bacteria spliced with the genes of a special enzyme. It is based on an enzyme for synthesizing 2-deoxyscyllo-inosose (DOI), which transforms glucose into phenols.

โฆ Synopsis
Japan Polypropylene starting R&D for metallocene copolymers
Japan Polypropylene will conduct development of new highly functional metallocene-catalyzed copolymer products at a new pilot plant slated to be built in Apr 2010 at the company's Yokkaichi works. Japan Polypropylene aims to increase the share of speciality products in its total product slate from around 30%, at present, to 50% or more in several years. The company aims to develop polypropylene that will be on an entirely different level from competing products, said Japan Polypropylene's R&D director and general manager. The company is already commercializing its proprietary metallocene-catalyzed polypropylene Wintec, the first of its kind to be mass-produced. The firm is stepping up development of high performance products in response to the upcoming upsurge in capacity that is expected to significantly affect markets for homopolymers and other general-purpose products in Asia, including Japan.
