For the first time, an international collaboration has demonstrated that synthetic carbon assimilation can operate more efficiently in a living system than its natural counterpart. Researchers in ...

The paper S. Bryson et al., “Proteomic stable isotope probing reveals taxonomically distinct patterns in amino acid assimilation by coastal marine bacterioplankton ...

Autotrophs participate in the carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide to produce the biomass that all other organisms use for life. Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and ...

he said. "Was it carbon assimilation or ATP synthesis or both?" Various lines of evidence suggest that the plastids in red algae and another group of photosynthesizing organisms known as ...

"I think it would be incredible to get to the point where we could assure that every bit of carbon in a high-value compound comes from CO2," Mehta said. "This could be one way to recycle CO2 waste ...
