Green Light: USU Biochemists Describe Light-Driven Conversion of Greenhouse Gas to Fuel

Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - 23:31 in Physics & Chemistry

By way of a light-driven bacterium, Utah State University biochemists are a step closer to cleanly converting harmful carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion into usable fuels. Using the phototropic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris as a biocatalyst, the scientists generated methane from carbon dioxide in one enzymatic step.
