Enzymes in Grape Algae help extract fuel from plants Scientists at Texas A&M University in the United States discovered an enzyme that can produce hydrocarbons in the process of studying the green microalgae, Grape brownii, which can be used to extract fuel
from plants for the production of gasoline, kerosene and diesel
.
Most of the oil currently stored underground is also produced
by these seaweeds.

The researchers first looked at which genes produce fuel and found that synthases, encoded by the LOS gene, were able to kick-start oil production
.
They determined that the LOS enzyme of Staphylococcia brownii can produce several different hydrocarbons, a characteristic that is important because most enzymes similar to the LOS enzyme can only use 15-carbon matrix molecules
