This project aims to enhance the efficiency of the enzyme Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RuBisCO) to improve the production of solar fuels. By using eukaryotic organisms for directed evolution, the project seeks to increase carbon dioxide fixation rates and bioethanol yields.
Global warming can be greatly mitigated by replacing fossil fuels with renewable solar energy.
In one approach, researchers have combined solar water splitting with bacteria capable of consuming atmospheric CO2 and solar derived hydrogen to produce solar fuels.
All CO2 fixed by these bacteria must go through the enzyme Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RuBisCO).
RuBisCO is the arbiter of photosynthesis and is the primary conduit linking carbon into the biosphere.
However, the en…
