The Department of Energy proposes to provide funding to Montana State University (MSU) to perform multiple research tasks to identify and study naturally-occurring organisms and utilize genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) to promote the use of hot, carbon dioxide - laden, fossil fuel combustion gases as an input to photosynthetic lipid production. This work would be conducted as bench-scale research at laboratories operated by MSU, and outdoor sampling at two microbe prospecting sites near Sheridan, Wyoming and Soap Lake in Grant County, Washington.
