Fun

Who says that science can't be fun?

Cyano Machine
To the tune of Yellow Submarine
by Muriel Eaton (with help from my friends Lennon and McCartney)

In the lab where I was born,
Lived cyano-bacteria,
And he produced biofuels,
From conversion of pyruvate,

So we expressed an active gene,
Till the bottle neck was reduced,
And produced lots of alkanes,
In our cyano powered world,

We all live in a cyano powered world,
Cyano powered world, cyano powered world,
We all live in a cyano powered world,
Cyano powered world, cyano powered world,

And our enzymes are all aboard
To make a standard biobrick
And the sun begins to burn

We all live in a cyano powered world
Cyano powered world, cyano powered world
We all live in a cyano powered world
Cyano powered world, cyano powered world

Full speed ahead Mr. Kessler, full speed ahead
PCR it is, Sgt.
Cut the gene, drop the gene
Aye, aye, Sir, aye, aye
Captain, captain

As we make a biomachine (bio-‘chine)
The world is using fuel clean
(World of us, fuel clean)
Sky of blue and cyano of green
(Sky of blue, cyano of green)
In our cyano powered world
(In our cyano, powered, aha)

We all live in a cyano powered world
A cyano powered world, cyano powered world
We all live in a cyano powered world
A cyano powered world, cyano powered world
