Innovation Insights

Engineered Photosynthetic Bacteria for conversion of CO2 into chemicals

Cyanobacteria are being engineered to directly convert solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water to biofuels and other products. Cyanobacteria-based approaches possess advantages over traditional biological production systems based on plants, green algae, or heterotrophic organisms. For example, cyanobacteria are more amenable to genetic manipulation than are algae and can therefore be adapted for the production of a wider range of products.
