Not exact matches

The E. coli directly secretes the resulting biodiesel, which then floats to the top of a fermentation vat, so there is neither the necessity for distillation or other purification processes nor the need, as in biodiesel from algae, to break the cell to get the oil out.

The researchers fed the algae glycerol, a cheap waste product of biodiesel production, and urea, another inexpensive chemical that serves as a nitrogen source for the algae.

Half of the cultured algae can be pumped down within the landfill to further increase methane output, while the other portion of algae could go toward creating biodiesel fuels.

The scientists first genetically modified E. coli to consume sugar and secrete engine - grade biodiesel, which can float to the top of a fermentation vat — no need for distilling, purifying or breaking cells open to get the oil out, as is the case for making biodiesel from algae.
