Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. However, these types of organisms produce oxygen during photosynthesis, which tends to limit their efficiency for synthesizing biofuels, as many of the enzymes involved in the biosynthetic pathways are oxygen-sensitive.
