Not Just Bread and Beer: Microbes Can Ferment Carbon Dioxide To Make Fuel - SciTechDaily

Scientists Mapped Out a "Bicyclic Carbon Fixation" Pathway for Speeding Up Gas Fermentation in Specialized Bacteria Bakers ferment the dough for a well-risen loaf of bread. Likewise, brewers ferment wheat and barley for a smooth, malty glass of beer. And as n…
Bicyclic Carbon FixationNREL scientists have designed a pathway for speeding up CO2 fermentation in some species of bacteria. The resulting moleculeacetyl-CoA, with its two unique carbon handles (C2)… [+5124 chars] Read More
