Investigating the potential of producing alkanes and other fatty acid-derived biofuels using the thermophilic chassis Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius

Diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the drawbacks of conventional crop-based biofuels has catalysed recent research into the microbial conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid biofuel. Fatty acids represent the most abundant form of reduced carbon chain in nature, and represent the basic b...
