Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. Here we have harnessed the power of microbes to convert carbon dioxide into value-added multi-carbon compounds in a usable biofuel. 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. The reliance of artificial nitrogen fertilizers for food crop production and their damaging environmental effects are in many ways underestimated. Cyanobacteria are blue-green algae of which certain strains are capable of gathering and converting atmospheric nitrogen.

Scientists are developing a way to use nature’s own power stations, mitochondria, to convert organic matter into energy. According to the BBC, scientists at St Louis University in Missouri, US have developed a prototype cell, similar to the ones our own bodies, which can convert almost anything into energy.
