Berkeley, Calif. (UPI) Jan 28, 2009 U.S. scientists say they have developed a microbe that can produce an advanced biofuel directly from biomass. Scientists led by Jay Keasling from the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute said using synthetic biology they engineered a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to produce biodiesel fuel and other chemicals derived from fatty acids. "The fact that our micr ... more |

Gene-altered bugs make biodieselParis (AFP) Jan 27, 2010 Gene scientists have coaxed bacteria into eating agricultural waste and secreting diesel, offering a potentially cheaper, greener energy source than present-day biofuels, a study released Wednesday said. Soaring demand for the current mainstay source for biodiesels - corn, sugar and other starchy crops - has caused the prices of some staple foods to soar as farmland is turned over to fuel crops, and worsened deforestation. Some researchers also doubt whether there is a significant net reducti ... read more |
