Apr. 22, 2013 — It sounds like science fiction but a team from the University   
   of Exeter, with support from Shell, has developed a method to make bacteria   
   produce diesel on demand. While the technology still faces many significant   
   commercialisation    
   challenges, the diesel, produced by special strains of E. coli bacteria, is   
   almost identical to conventional diesel fuel and so does not need to be   
   blended with petroleum products as is often required by biodiesels derived   
   from plant oils.
