E.Coli is a bacterium found in the gut of endotherms,so called the warm blooded animals.The gut microbe can replicate the molecules and produce diesel.
A recent research from the university of Exeter,developed a new method which makes use of bacteria to produce fuel,which is almost identical to conventional diesel fuel.So they used bacteria and added genes from camphor tree,blue green algae and other two bacteria namely Photorhabdus luminescents and Bacillus subtilis that allows E.Coli to make hydrocarbons from fatty acids and then fed on sugars and yeast extract and then observed them floating in the growing medium suggesting that the microbes secrets the hydrocarbons from their cells once produced.
This biofuel is a fuel derived directly from the living matter that could make cars or motorcycles running on natural gas.This research continues to wean the E.Coli off plants and use organic wastes from agriculture or even sewage.
