Oil as a natural resource is becoming scarcer and more
expensive and there is a need to look at eco-friendly ways of extracting it,
thereby reducing CO2 emissions. White biotechnology offers a solution:
scientists are now using microorganisms such as bacteria to generate substances
for the production of polymers. The advantage is that these miniature
biochemical factories run on renewable resources or agricultural waste
converting it into valuable chemicals.
