GLOBAL Bioenergies (Alternext Paris: ALGBE) announces having succeeded in the production of bio-sourced propylene by direct fermentation. It is the first time ever an entirely biological production process - i.e. without any chemical step -is reported for propylene, a central building block for the manufacturing of plastics. After isobutene in 2010 and butadiene earlier this year, Global Bioenergies recently announces having created a proprietary prototype strain able to convert glucose into propylene at laboratory scale. This is the first time ever such a direct biological production of propylene has been reported.
