又一種新的石油代替品面世 another new fuel produced......do you know what does that mean?

Synthetic e. coli could build a better biofuel

another new fuel produced......

do you know what does that mean?

it means:
people in the West is working round the clock crazily.....
they tried hard on the new fuel.... anything that can replace oil.....


see for your self:

Leechard,

Modified E-coli, like the fungus, could also be another source of fuel

Such scientific breakthorugh is credited to the effort of US researchers. They are the one in Los Angles laboratory of University of California.

How can it occur ? E-coli must be turned into generator of fuel by genetic engineering. Chromosome is inserted into E-coli DNA, and altered its basic genetic structure. Then E-coli could be able to make alcohol consisting of 8-carbon atoms. A 8-C hydroncarbon could pack a lot more energy than ethanol that we are now using. Due to its high viscosity, it can easily be separated from water. Hence, it could be an ideal biofuel.

Also it is a remarkable event in biochemical history. It is the first time of human-synthesizing long-chain alcohol. In theoery, many long-chain alcohol can be produced through this method. So, we can make more biochemical-made alcohol with e-coli as our factory.

The consequence of this event shall be seen in many sectors.

Firstly, it is at the market of ethanol. The e-coli-manufactured alcohols are new source of alcohol. Due to the production cost, were the price of large-scale bacteria-produced alcohol to be lower than that of corn-produced, there is a room for downward shifting of ethanol prices. Many people could pay less than now to enjoy ethanol and its derivatives.

Moreover, There will be a fall in price of raw materials making ethanols. There will be less demand for making ethanols from corns were the large-scale ecoli-made ethanol to be available in market. Then, more corns will be supplied to meet the large world demand for it. Compared with present, more people can buy corns in a larger quantity for their eat in a lower cost.

What is more, it, like many discovery made recently, has proved again that there is the will, there is the way. What people need is a new manufacturing mechanism of materials essential in human life. E-coli alcohol, fungus fuel, witricity. They have given us a message that we can survive, and even live, better than we are, were we to use the present materials wisely and effectively, guided by new light of science and technology.
