New research, 'Production of succinic acid at low pH by a recombinant strain of the aerobic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica,' is the subject of a report. "Biotechnological production of weak organic acids such as succinic acid is most economically advantageous when carried out at low pH. Among naturally occurring microorganisms, several bacterial strains are known to produce considerable amounts of succinic acid under anaerobic conditions but they are inefficient in performing the low-pH fermentation due to their physiological properties," scientists writing in the journal Biotechnology & Bioengineering report.

This summer, a prolonged, severe drought led Russia - one of the worlds largest wheat exporters - to ban exports of the crop. The result was a significant spike in wheat prices on the world's futures markets. Many producers feared a repeat of the food crisis of 2007 and 2008, when a combination of factors including rising global demand, federal ethanol mandates in the U.S. and non-commercial speculation on the commodities markets sent the price of corn, wheat and soybeans soaring, affecting suppliers ranging from bakers and soft-drink manufacturers to egg and beef producers.
