<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">ArabiaWeather.com - Khitam Amer - A team of researchers in Britain and Finland managed to <strong>genetically modify coliform bacteria</strong> present in the human body to produce a flammable compound known <strong>as</strong> <strong>propane,</strong> where they changed the bacteria&#39;s metabolism to produce propane gas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /> Propane is a colorless and flammable gas, which is an organic hydrocarbon compound and is obtained through <strong>the oil distillation</strong> process or during <strong>natural gas extraction operations.</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /><br /> Propane gas is found in light crude oil, natural gas, and gases produced when heavy oil is chemically broken down to produce petroleum. It is considered one of the environmentally friendly fuels because it turns into carbon dioxide and water when it is burned. Until now, propane has been produced as a by-product in oil refining operations and the production of other compounds such as natural gas and oil.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Propane gas has many <strong>uses</strong> , including electric power generation and the production of a large number of chemical compounds. It can also be placed with butane gas in special steel cylinders for domestic use.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
