Engineered bacteria make fuel from sunlight

Davis a Chemist from the University of California, has engineered an algae, that is blue-green to chemically grow precursors for furls and plastics. With this discovery the U.S. Department of Energy, plans on obtaining a quarter of industrial chemicals from biological processes in around 13 years from now. Using cyanobacteria to grow has a couple of other pros to it, such as it does not compete with food needs, like the corn's role in the production of ethanol. These biological reactions are very well at forming the carbon to carbon bonds needed. They use the carbon dioxide as a raw material for the reactions powered by sunlight.
