Biofuel from bacteria

Biofuel Bacteria Streptomyces is genetically modified to produce cellulase. This is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose (the primary structural material in plants). Bacteria that can produce cellulase, or similar enzymes, are able to ferment plant cellulose to produce ethanol for use as a fuel. Ethanol is added to petrol to improve vehicle performance and reduce air pollution. Fuels produced by biological means (biofuels) are renewable, unlike fossil fuels. In this topic, you will learn more about bacteria and other unicellular eukaryotes.
