Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have engineered the bacterium Escherichia coli to produce n-butanol from crude glycerol—a byproduct of the production of biodiesel. The conversion yield and the productivity reached 87% of the theoretical yield and 0.18 coli for the effective production of n-butanol.
