Article Synopsis
- * Using various processing techniques, we discovered an ideal mix of extracts that boosted root growth in Arabidopsis by 25% and cut down on fertilizer needs by the same amount when applied to tomato plants.
- * Our analysis showed that this process not only enhances plant nutrient metabolism but also produces leftover biomass that could be used in a biorefinery for other products, improving cost-effectiveness.
Background: The large-scale biocatalytic application of oxidoreductases requires systems for a cost-effective and efficient regeneration of redox cofactors. These represent the major bottleneck for industrial bioproduction and an important cost factor. In this work, co-expression of the genes of invertase and a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase from Burkholderia xenovorans to E.

- Photosynthesis is a crucial process that transforms sunlight into chemical energy, vital for life on Earth, but there are still many unknowns about how it works and has evolved.
- Researchers are focusing on fundamental aspects of photosynthesis like light-dependent reactions, photorespiration, and C4 metabolism to unravel these mysteries.
- The commentary highlights key unanswered questions in the field, aiming to inspire further research and understanding of photosynthetic processes.
Article Synopsis
- Improvement of photosynthesis requires understanding how electrons are distributed under different conditions, which was studied in the engineered cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 expressing a gene for an enzyme that converts substrates into products using photosynthetically produced NAD(P)H.
- The research found that strong artificial electron sinks can outperform natural mechanisms, revealing that the pathway through ferredoxin-NAD(P)H-oxidoreductase is more effective for transferring photosynthetic electrons.
- Key findings highlight the importance of the NADPH/NADP+ ratio in regulating electron flow, suggesting that recognizing energy bottlenecks in engineered systems is vital for enhancing photosynthetic processes for sustainable production.
Some cyanobacteria can grow photoautotrophically or photomixotrophically by using simultaneously CO and glucose. The switch between these trophic modes and the role of glycogen, their main carbon storage macromolecule, was investigated. We analysed the effect of glucose addition on the physiology, metabolic and photosynthetic state of Synechocystis sp.
