paragraph_text: Bio transformation into fuel
  
  It has been proposed that CO from power generation be bubbled into ponds to stimulate growth of algae that could then be converted into biodiesel fuel. A strain of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus has been genetically engineered to produce the fuels isobutyraldehyde and isobutanol from CO using photosynthesis.
  
  Researchers have developed an electrocatalytic technique using enzymes isolated from bacteria to power the chemical reactions which convert CO into fuels.
