A crystal structure showing an unusual trinuclear Cd(II) cluster bridged in mu3 fashion by a carbonate ligand is reported. The carbonate ion is formed by fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide from the corresponding cadmium mononuclear complex containing an aza crown ether.

Photosynthesis harvests solar energy to convert CO into chemicals, offering a potential solution to reduce atmospheric CO. However, integrating photosynthesis into non-photosynthetic microbes to utilize one-carbon substrates is challenging. Here, a photosynthesis system is reconstructed in E.

This study explored a sustainable alternative to the Haber-Bosch process by enhancing production of nitrogen-rich polymer cyanophycin (CGP) in the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. PCC7120. Applying UV-mutagenesis followed by canavanine selection, we isolate an initial mutant with enhanced CGP accumulation.

Unlabelled: The rising atmospheric concentration of CO is a major concern to society due to its global warming potential. In soils, CO-fixing microorganisms are preventing some of the CO from entering the atmosphere. Yet, the controls of dark CO fixation are rarely studied .

Diazotrophic cyanobacteria can overcome nitrogen (N)-limitation by fixing atmospheric N; however, this increases their energetic, iron, molybdenum, and boron costs. It is unknown how current and historic N-supplies affect cyanobacterial elemental physiology beyond increasing demands for elements involved in N-fixation. Here, we examined the changes in pigment concentrations, N-storage, and the ionome (i.

Endophytes are microbes living within plant tissue, with some having the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen in both a free-living state and within their plant host. They are part of a diverse microbial community whose interactions sometimes result in a more productive symbiosis with the host plant. Here, we report the co-isolation of diazotrophic endophytes with synergistic partners sourced from two separate nutrient-limited sites.
