Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known ... which is present in plants, algae, cyanobacteria and proteobacteria. A second autotrophic pathway (Arnon–Buchanan cycle) uses ...

As a first step, his team has engineered the genes for nitrogen fixation into certain cyanobacteria. This was an easier proposition than plants, because there were already cyanobacteria which ...

He won the top prize, which funded his early forays into applying his tools to cyanobacteria to investigate their potential to help fix and sequester carbon. Meanwhile, Tierney, who was then a ...

And the fact that cyanobacteria directly harvest carbon from their environment to grow means that they can couple the processes of carbon sequestration and biomanufacturing together in a single ...

If scientists can figure out how to genetically engineer it, this single-celled organism’s natural quirks could become supercharged into a low-waste carbon capture system. Cyanobacteria like ...

Researchers have discovered a special strain of marine cyanobacteria that consume and store carbon dioxide at a rapid rate. With a unique density that allows it to sink to the sea floor ...

The white dots are thought to store carbon. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University Researchers have discovered a special strain of marine cyanobacteria that consume and store carbon dioxide ...

An international coalition of researchers from the United States and Italy has discovered a novel strain of cyanobacteria, or algae, isolated from volcanic ocean vents that is especially adept at ...
