A team of scientists introduced a genetic code in E. coli bacterium. The code instructed the bacterium to produce biodiesel when feeding on urban waste. What could be the likely impact of this biotechnology on the environment? Human dependence on fossil fuels would decrease. There would be a severe waste management crisis. Food supply for human consumption would be reduced. The engines running on biofuel would create environmental pollution.
