Fungus discovered that produces components of rocket and diesel fuels
Gary A. Strobel, professor of plant pathology at Montana State University, has recently published his findings on a type of microscopic fungus living in trees, called Gliocladium roseum, which naturally gives off components of rocket fuel and diesel fuel. Strobel believes organisms like these which shed raw hydrocarbon components could be partially responsible for the vast underground oceans of crude oil we have today. In addition, he also sees them as a path toward new ways of producing bio-fuels. Could the fungus among us be the key in a tree which powers our needs to eternity?
