...researchers said that scientists hope to use cyanobacteria as a model organism to create genetically-modified designer bacteria capable of producing biofuels. Greater carbon fixation efficiency in cyanobacteria would increase the efficiency of biofuel production in these bacteria, according to the research team...
Designer cyanobacteria could also provide cheaper ways to produce biofuel, Silver added...
...study was funded by the U.S. Army Research Office through a grant seeking to engineer cyanobacteria that produces biofuel molecules, such as hydrogen and biodiesel...
...device, which effectively reduces the scale of the laboratory from test tubes to water droplets, can be used in a variety of fields, with applications ranging from drug screening to biofuel development...
...Corporate America is getting into the animal-based biofuel market as well, thanks to U.S. government subsidies. Like Europe, the U.S. has a law that bans dumping raw meat into landfills. In July 2007, energy company, ConocoPhillips teamed up with meat giant Tyson to make biofuel from chicken and pork fats that would otherwise have been added into makeup, pet foods or soaps. Although biofuel produced from animal fat is better suited to fueling industrial boilers than cars, Tyson and ConocoPhillips have come up with a fuel for the "on-road" market.
