The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Auburn University (AU) to develop an integrated bioprocess for efficient butyl acetate (BA) production by way of systematic genome engineering, evaluate BA as a viable bioblendstock for diesel fuel, and test the suitability of various blended fuel (BA/biodiesel) compositions in a series of laboratory-based experiments.
