I'm sure the day is not far off when the process will be possible in vitro. I'd 
bet that corn's metabolic pathway is already known and then it all becomes a 
matter of scaling up the process. Obviously, the details are more complex, but 
I'm sure the synthesis pathway is much simpler for corn fermentation that it is 
for petroleum products...
