biofuel from bacteria Archives – The Green Optimistic green tech news, since 2008 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 20:14:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 2667534 Maryland Researchers Found New Biofuel-Producing Bacteria https://www.greenoptimistic.com/maryland-biofuel-bacteria-2015/ https://www.greenoptimistic.com/maryland-biofuel-bacteria-2015/#respond Tue, 22 Sep 2015 20:12:54 +0000 https://www.greenoptimistic.com/?p=56736 A new paper, about to be published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, describes how researchers have found certain strains of bacteria that can produce mass amounts of biofuel. Manufacturing and agriculture could use their biological waste as a source of cleaner, more sustainable energy. The scientists identified bacteria that can produce ethanol and 1-butanol, […]
