The idea is to express algae-binding proteins on the surface of E. Coli in order to cause flocculation. Flocculation is the aggregation and precipitation of particles from solution. This flocculation will make the formation of biodiesel more efficient by eliminating the need for centrifugation to concentrate the fuel source. | The idea is to express algae-binding proteins on the surface of E.
