Both photo- and biocatalysis are well-established intensively studied. The combination of these two approaches is also an emerging research field, commonly referred to as semi-artificial photosynthesis. Semi-artificial photosynthesis aims at combining highly efficient synthetic light harvesters with the self-healing potent catalytic properties biocatalysis. In this study, a photocatalytic system featuring Escherichia coli bacteria, which heterologously express [FeFe] hydrogenase enzyme HydA1...
Powering E. coli with sunlight: the optimization of a synthetic photocatalytic system allows to function as robust and efficient platform for semi-artificial photosynthesis.
<title>Abstract</title> Electromicrobial production systems, which use electrons from renewable energy sources to drive microbial metabolism towards desired products, are considered a promising strategy for future conversion and sustainable synthesis technologies. However, electron transport microbes remains critical yet poorly understood process. This hinders the rational design of these systems viable efficiencies. Here, we report construction an efficient redox power-transport unit that...
