We can use stuff to break down stuff and then create new stuff with the stuff.

Once we have glucose, the natural product of cellulose degradation, possible products we can make are:

• Levan
• Ethanol
• Isoprene
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Xylose isomerase is the enzyme used in industry to break down glucose into fructose. It catalyses the chemical reaction D-xylose into D-xylulose. (Part not available in registry). However there has been talk on UK and EU level of banning HFCS. It has been linked with an increase in obesity and type2 diabetes, i.e. a lot of bad press.
• Sucrose
• Xylitol

This was the old Navbox for Edinburgh; now it's obsolete...
