Engineered for tolerance, bacteria pump out higher quantity of renewable gasoline

Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - 12:30 in Physics & Chemistry

An international team of bioengineers has boosted the ability of bacteria to produce isopentenol, a compound with desirable gasoline properties. The finding, published in mBio, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, is a significant step toward developing a bacterial strain that can yield industrial quantities of renewable bio-gasoline.
