Researchers at the Technological Institute of Massachusetts (MIT) have managed to
manipulate the genes from one bacterium llamada "Ralstonia Eutropha" it
has given a result Isobutanol, a type of alcohol that could replace
the gasoline.
The
author this find is Christopher Brigham, who states that the
bacterium Ralstonia Eutropha When he leaves his growing use all energy in
the manufacturing complex compounds carbon.
And at its source essential nutrients are restricted meeting in ten and Ella access, mainly nitrate phosphate initiates a way of
storage carbon. This storage of carbon ten one composition very similar
to plastic oil in it, and you are here team
where he was modifying some genes and inserting another gene of another
body will achieved this bacterium clogs can generate fuel instead of
plastic.
With
this modification the bacteria intended that the bacteria use carbon
dioxide as fuente instead of carbon as well as other types of
agricultural waste, with these changes in the bacterium pueda get turned
into fuel also.
With samples growing large enough, the researchers have succeeded in
proving that pueden obtain quantities of Isobutanol, stating that one of their next objectives are to increase the speed of production
and obtaining this type of fuel as well as the implementation of
bioreactors for industrial level to get significant amounts of Isobutanol.
Nobody knows if this is a major breakthrough in the search for new sources for natural substitutes for fuel, although we have to wait and see about their
research at the technological institute of Massachusetts. In the achievement
of the new type of fuel, although it inconvenient in
this aspect, but to avoid the emission
of CO2 into the atmosphere and protection
of the environment makes new type of fuel important.
