Autotrophs, such as cyanobacteria, produce complex organic molecules from simpler inorganic compounds using solar energy through the process of photosynthesis...
...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...
...researchers said that they plan to focus next on strains of cyanobacteria that use an engineered lipid synthesis pathway that allows the bacteria to directly secrete biofuels into growth medium...
...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...
