Bacteria engineered to make sugar from carbon dioxide and feed world

Weizmann Institute scientists have engineered bacteria to create sugar from the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. All life on the planet relies, in one way or another, on a process called carbon fixation – the ability of plants, algae and certain bacteria to “pump” carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment, add solar or other energy and … Continue reading Bacteria engineered to make sugar from carbon dioxide and feed world
