Flask in hand

Caption

Zhen Wang, University at Buffalo assistant professor of biological sciences, holds a flask containing a strain of E. coli that doesn’t endanger human health. Wang and colleagues have shown that genetically engineered E. coli can convert glucose into a class of fatty acids, which can then be transformed into hydrocarbons called olefins.
