Amyris Biotechnologies is engineering yeast to rise over the world's dependence on petroleum. The company developed a process that uses genetically modified molecules from yeast to create biofuels and other renewable chemicals as an alternative to petroleum products. Amyris uses fermented yeast from Brazilian sugarcane to produce Biofene, a chemical that can replace petroleum as the basis for such products as detergent, cosmetics, perfume, industrial lubricants, and fuel. The company, which has operations in the US and Brazil through a joint venture with sugar giant Grupo São Martinho called SMA Industria Quimica S.A. Amyris, went public in 2010 and expects to have its products ready for market by 2012.
