Description
Summary:<p class="Default">The use of recently developed genetic engineering tools in combination with organisms that have the potential to produce precursors for the production of biodiesel, promises a sustainable and environment friendly energy source. Enhanced lipid production in wild type and/or genetically engineered organisms can offer sufficient raw material for industrial transesterification of plant-based triglycerides. Bio-diesel, produced with the help of genetically modified organisms, might be one of the best alternatives to fossil fuels and to mitigate various environmental hazards.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i2.10644">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i2.10644</a></p> <p>International Journal of the Environment Vol.3(2) 2014: 311-323</p>
