British researchers reported on the "Journal of the National Academy of Sciences" in the United States on the 22nd that they have successfully produced a type of biodiesel using genetically engineered E. coli. The researchers said that this kind of diesel is almost the same as traditional diesel, but it still faces many challenges to achieve commercial production. Existing biofuels containing alcohol or biodiesel require complex production processes, and this fuel is not fully compatible with most modern engines and meets only a small part of the demand. The research team at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom hopes to find a biofuel with a similar oil profile. E. coli can convert sugars in plants into fats, and researchers use this property to make biodiesel through synthetic biology techniques. They isolated metabolic genes from a variety of bacteria, such as light-emitting bacillus, which emits cold light, and then used them to transform E. coli. The transformed E. coli can convert sugars in plants into a hydrocarbon molecule that is structurally and chemically identical to the hydrocarbon molecules in 10 retail diesel fuels. John Love, a research director and professor at the University of Exeter, said that their goal is to produce a biofuel that can be used without rebuilding the engine. Car manufacturers, consumers, and gas stations will not even notice it. The difference between conventional fuels may be called "bio-fossil fuels." The researchers said that although this kind of diesel is almost the same as traditional diesel, the engines on the market can be used without modification, but at present they can only be produced in small amounts in the laboratory. They will continue to study whether this biofuel production method will continue. Can be used for commercial production.
