Bacteria that turns CO2 and sunlight energy into liquid fuel

Hi,



Scientists have come up with the perfect solution to global warming.

A genetically modified bacterium has been engineered with the ability to convert carbon dioxide into a liquid fuel that can be used in our present cars.

This GMO bacterium carries out photosynthesis, ie it captures sunlight energy which it changes to the chemical energy in the fuel produced. This is very similar to the green plants, except that in plants glucose is the first product. The plant then changes glucose into other molecules that it needs to grow and develop.
