For Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Researchers Engineer a Promising Microorganism for Precursor Production
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers used advanced computing techniques to engineer the bacteria Pseudomonas putida to optimize its production of isoprenol using carbon from plant material. Isoprenol has a potential role in the production of jet biofuel blendstocks. This work is therefore a step toward sustainable jet fuel production, which could help control carbon dioxide emissions and climate change.
