Production of hydrocarbon compounds by endophytic fungi Gliocladium species grown on cellulose

► Infra-structure ready biofuels and bioproducts produced by fungi Gliocladium spp. ► Identified the conditions to produce innovative bio-products of higher market value. ► New discovery showing how Escherichia coli induce fungal hydrocarbons from Gliocladium spp. ► Gliocladium spp. produced long chain C6-C19 hydrocarbons from the cellulosic biomass. ► Developed a separation technique (GC/MS-SPME) to recover hydrocarbon bioproducts.
