Our system is focusing on the biochemical pathway in which glucose is adopted as the starting material and it will end up with some alkane chain of about 14 carbon atoms in length. As there are many biomass feedstock widely and cheaply available, we can get glucose and yield 14 carbon length alkane easily. Lignocellulosic biomass is a good example.



This existing strategies is known for ethanol production. In this process, glucose is made during the process as an intermediate. So it can be used as our starting material. Marine agar biomass can be used as well. Agar consists of a mixture of agarose and agaropectin and agarose is made up of the repeating monomeric unit of agarobiose. Agarobiose is a disaccharide. Several agarases have been isolated from different genera of bacteria found in seawater, marine sediments and other environments. With the hydrolytic activity of agarase, oligosaccharides are easily available.
