韩国科学技术研究院化学与生物工程部的一个研究小组首次通过微生物发酵生成了短链烃类化合物。这个研究团队是由资深教授李相烨(sang yup lee,此人被聘为中科院微生物研究所名誉教授)领导的。通过生物工程生成替代柴油的13~17碳原子长链烃类化合物的工作已经有公开报道,但由生物工程生成可用作汽油的短链烃仍属首次。该团队研发了新的菌株E,通过对工业脂肪酸生物代谢和 A team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology’s Chemical and Biological Engineering Division produced short-chain hydrocarbons for the first time through microbial fermentation. The research team is led by senior professor sang yup lee, who was hired as honorary professor at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The generation of 13 to 17 carbon long-chain hydrocarbon compounds to replace diesel by bioengineering has been reported publicly, but the first generation of bio-engineered short-chain hydrocarbons that can be used as gasoline is still the first. The team developed a new strain, E, that metabolizes and metabolizes industrial fatty acids
