TLDR

An integrated biological process for converting synthesis gas to triacylglycerides (TAGs) that could be used as an alternative biodiesel feedstock and leverages a potentially abundant, low-cost feedstock analogous to established gas-to-liquid (GTL) processes that use heterogeneous catalysts; only here, the catalysts are living organisms.
