Review of approaches to engineer microbes for biofuels

Source : greencarcongress.com

Dr. Larry Wackett, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Department of Biochemistry, University of Minnesota, has a paper in press in the journal Current Opinion in Biotechnology reviewing approaches to engineering microbes to produce advanced biofuels, including renewable hydrocarbons. Wackett is also lead investigator in a $2.2-million ARPA-E funded effort to use an innovative artificial symbiotic colony of photosynthetic bacteria with Shewanella, a hydrocarbon-producing bacteria to produce liquid transportation fuels. The photosynthetic organisms will use sunlight to convert CO2 to sugar, which the Shewanella will then convert to bio-hydrocarbons.
