Scientists a step closer to producing fuel from bacteria
Date: 17.8.2008
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have shown how **bacteria** could be used as a **future fuel**. The research, published in the journal Bioinformatics, could have significant implications for the **environment** and the way we produce **sustainable fuels** in the future.
Like all living creatures, bacteria sustain themselves through their metabolism, a huge sequence of chemical reactions that transform nutrients into energy and waste.
