How Microbes Utilize Electrons to Fix Carbon Dioxide

New research done at the Washington University elaborates the cellular processes which allow a solar microbe to consume electricity and transferring the electrons to fix carbon dioxide in order to fuel its growth. Led by an assistant professor of biology, Arpita Bose and Dr. Michael Guzman, a team at the Washington University explained how a strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris uses electrons from conductive materials such as metal oxides or r....
