Autotrophic yeast
Jens Nielsen
TL;DR
Scientists are working to make yeast grow using only CO2 and light, which could help create a more sustainable way to produce fuels and chemicals.
Contribution
The paper introduces the concept of making yeast autotrophic, enabling it to use CO2 and light for growth.
Findings
Yeast can be engineered to grow on CO2 and light.
This development could expand yeast's use in sustainable production.
Abstract
Yeast is a widely used cell factory for the conversion of sugar into fuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Establishing yeast as being autotrophic can enable it to grow solely on CO2 and light, and hereby yeast can be used as a wider platform for transition to a sustainable society.
