E. coli can produce diesel fuel.

This may sound unbelievable, but scientists from the University of Exeter have found a way to produce diesel fuel using the bacterium Escherichia coli (for common people - E. coli). The resulting fuel is almost no different from conventional diesel, derived from petroleum. And what is important, unlike biodiesel , this fuel does not require mixing with petroleum products before use. So, its application will not require any modifications to existing engines or changes in the fuel infrastructure.
Here is what the professor with the romantic surname John Love , who is responsible for the study, says about this:

The production of commercial biofuels, which can be used without modifying vehicles, was from the very beginning the goal of this project. Replacing conventional diesel with carbon-neutral biofuels in commercial volumes would be a huge step towards achieving our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Global energy demand is growing, and fuel, which does not depend on oil price fluctuations or the political situation, is becoming an increasingly attractive prospect.

E. coli bacteria are able to convert sugar into fat to build their cell membranes. This process can be used to create synthetic fuel molecules. E. coli is already commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as a catalyst. At the same time, biodiesel fuel is currently produced by laboratories only in small quantities. Scientists are continuing research in this direction in order to understand whether it will be possible to supply such fuel on commercial rails. Rob Lee from Shell Projects & Technology:

We are proud of the work of the University of Exeter on the use of advanced biotechnology to create special hydrocarbon molecules that, as we know, will be in great demand in the future. Despite the fact that the technology still faces a number of obstacles to commercialization, we hope with this method and a number of other technologies to meet the challenges of limiting the growth of carbon dioxide emissions, responding to the growing demand for transportation fuels.
