Xylogenics Chief Science Officer to Present at Fuel Ethanol Workshop

Online, June 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Xylogenics Chief Science Officer Mark Goebl, Ph.D., will speak in a panel session on "Yield Improvements through Fermentation Advances" at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in St. Louis on June 16, 2010.

Dr. Goebl's presentation entitled "Cellulosic Ethanol Improved by the Manipulation of Yeast and the Fermentation Environment" will focus on how the Xylogenics technology positively impacts ethanol production by using genetic modifications to improve the conversion of sugar to ethanol. Xylogenics technology will enable ethanol production facilities throughout the U.S. and Canada to boost the fermentation process, increase production efficiency and reduce costs. The Company's proprietary yeast strains can potentially improve fermentation yields by 30 percent or more.

Dr. Goebl is also Professor of Biochemistry at the School of Medicine at Indiana University.
