Bacteria may produce high-energy missile fuel
Washington, March 27 (IANS) In a path-breaking discovery, researchers have engineered a bacterium to synthesise pinene – a hydrocarbon produced by trees that could potentially replace high-energy fuels in missiles and other aerospace applications. With improvements in process efficiency, the biofuel could supplement limited supplies of petroleum-based high-energy fuel like ‘JP-10’ and might also facilitate development […]
