Rutgers-Camden Professor Engineers E. Coli To Produce BiodieselCamden PA (SPX) Sep 07, 2010 One mention of E. coli conjures images of sickness and food poisoning, but the malevolent bacteria may also be the key to the future of renewable energy. Desmond Lun, an associate professor of computer science at Rutgers University-Camden, is researching how to alter the genetic makeup of E. coli to produce biodiesel fuel derived from fatty acids. "If we can engineer biological organisms to produce biodiesel fuels, we'll have a new way of storing and using energy," Lun says. Creating r ... read more |
