Dr. Michale D. Adams of Geogia University and Dr. R. Kelly of North Carolina State University, engineered Pyrococcus furiosus, a bacteria which grows on sugars at temperatures of about 100 degrees Celsius (boiling point of water) and made it active at much lower temperatures – around 73 degrees Celsius. At this temperature it produces useful products by converting carbon dioxide. The scientists are trying to get car fuel out of this organism in a scalable way.
