Scientists develops bacteria which consume carbon-di-oxide for energy

Researchers have developed bacteria called Escherichia coli, which consume carbon-di-oxide for energy instead of organic compounds. This creation in synthetic biology highlights the incredible plasticity of bacterial metabolism and could provide the framework for future carbon-neutral bioproduction. The work appeared in the journal — Cell. “Our main aim was to create a convenient scientific platform […]
