Mycodiesel. It has a nice ring to it. It was about a year ago that a flurry of buzz surrounded the publication of a paper announcing the fungal synthesis of fuel-like organic molecules from a species isolated from Patagonian trees. The work was led by Gary Strobel of Montana State University. Now the National Science [...]
