Genetically engineered bacteria are being developed to produce alternative fuels.

select the best answer from the choices provided

a) t
b) f

The right answer is True.

Thanks to several genetic manipulations, a bacterium has been transformed into a plant exclusively dedicated to the production of biofuel. The microorganism expelling the precious fatty acid out of the cell, this synthetic route circumvents the expensive step of extraction and purification.

The production of this fuel faces several problems. It must achieve sufficient production rates to meet the demand for biofuel while being competitive with oil.

A) True is your answer.

Genetically engineered bacteria can be used to produce alternative fuels used for energy.
