With further experimentation, the researchers inferred how Met12 is capable of exploiting these electrons to facilitate energy metabolism, with carbon dioxide as the primary fuel source.

Lithium carbon dioxide batteries could be a gamechanger for everything from renewable-energy storage to colonising Mars.

they are released as waste in the form of carbon dioxide (Figure 3). The particular energy pathway that a cell employs depends in large part on whether that cell is a eukaryote or a prokaryote.

Over the last decade, humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) have stabilized after a period of huge growth. Average ...

Roslyn Gleadow, a biologist at Monash University in Australia who studies nitrogen metabolism in plants and didn’t contribute to the review, notes that the hypotheses that high carbon dioxide alters ...

Carbon dioxide may be a naturally occurring substance on Earth, but too much of its presence has contributed to global ...

In green algae, such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂ ... blue light perception to starch metabolism in green algae, Nature ...

Carbon capture: By controlling starch accumulation, we can influence how algae store carbon, which could help capture carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gases. RELATED TOPICS Plants & Animals ...
