Current biofuels are made up of compounds that have properties that make them not a perfect substitute for gasoline. A much better solution would be to use bacteria to produce alkanes, the main chemical found in gasoline. This system would allow for the production of net-carbon neutral gasoline from organisms that can directly or indirectly utilize carbon dioxide. One of the goals of our team is to optimize alkane production in E. coli as a model for alkane production in such organisms.
