focuses on the detection of botryococcene, a branched triterpene biofuel produced by Botryococcus braunii algae. The unusual branched alkene nature of botryococcene renders it an effective precursor for production of several high octane fuels upon hydrocracking. Thus, there is interest in carrying out metabolic and protein engineering studies to optimize the production of botryococcene. In order to do this it would be useful to develop a screen to monitor production of branched alkenes such as
