Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes this is true due to advancements in genetic engineering.

A bacterium was transformed by scientists into a plant with the main purpose of the production of biofuel. The microorganism was expelled of its fatty acid but this synthetic route of extraction and purification is however very expensive.

The production of this fuel has several problems such as insufficient rates to meet the production rates of demand for biofuel while being competitive with oil and other forms of biofuel.
