Lab-evolved bacteria consume C02
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOVER the course of several months, researchers in Israel created Escherichia coli strains that consume CO2 for energy instead of organic compounds. This achievement in synthetic biology highlights the incredible plasticity of bacterial metabolism and could provide the framework for future carbon-neutral bioproduction. The work appears in the Nov 27th issue of the journal Cell.
