Scientists Create Algae with Higher Fuel Capacity
Scientists in California are experimenting wth lowering the number of chlorophyll molecules in algae in order to make more room for hydrocarbons (molecules that make up oil). Right now, regular algae cells have about 600 chlorophyll molecules and researchers believe that that number can be genetically reduced to 130 molecules without any harm to the cell.
