The researchers at the University’s Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) collaborated with their colleagues at Imperial College London and University of Turku to develop a synthetic pathway that enables the renewable biosynthesis of propane. Last year, a […]

The latest invention comes from a Finnish research team, who modified E.coli bacteria in a way that they can generate propane. The study appeared yesterday in Nature Communications, and describes how genetically altered bacteria can be turned into […]

Propane vehicles are nothing new, but until now, the fueling expense here in the United States has made them unattractive. All of that changed once American propane production started to rise […]
