A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.

As the chains are produced, they are assembled into sheets ( light blue ) that stack on top of each other through van der Waals forces to form nanometer-thick crystalline microfibrils ( blue rods ) in the cell wall (gold). The microfibrils are encrusted in other polysaccharides and lignin.

93 Research Octane Number (RON)) would enable higher engine efficiency for light-duty vehicles through reducing engine knock constraints, thereby enabling the design of new spark-ignition engines with higher compression ratios and boost levels. Conversely, increasing the octane rating of gasoline at constant ethanol content (e.g.,
