Engineered E. coli using formic acid and CO2 as a C1-refinery platform strain

Wednesday, September 19, 2018 - 07:52 in Biology & Nature

A research group at KAIST has developed an engineered E. coli strain that converts formic acid and CO2 to pyruvate and produces cellular energy from formic acid through reconstructed one-carbon pathways. The strategy described in this study provides a new platform for producing value-added chemicals from one-carbon sources.
