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 nature's foremost bakers and brewers, s
is the most important heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere. Pathways for COfixation avenues in bacteria to help them synthesize key biofuel precursors, for example, acetyl-CoA.”
The final result? Acetyl-CoA, a more energy- and carbon-dense molecule that supports the bacteria’s growth. It is also a handy precursor for making valuable, climate-friendly biofuels. “Engineering this pathway to improve efficiency is challenging because of the enzymes’ complexity,” Xiong explained.
