Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. Microorganisms have evolved a bewildering array of techniques to obtain nutrients from their surrounding environments. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

it needs to be converted into a form that plants can use. Some plant-like bacteria (cyanobacteria) are able to fix nitrogen using solar energy via specialized cellular machinery. However, there is only one recorded sighting of this bacterium, which grows in toxic environments. Researchers led by Washington University in St.

Because the charging stations will utilize Jacksonville Electric Authority's Solar Smart Power program, the buses will truly have zero emissions. This project is unique in that the buses will be charged during the day to take advantage of the renewable energy made available by the abundant solar and wind energy available on the island.
