Journal ArticleDOI
Water splitting–biosynthetic system with CO2 reduction efficiencies exceeding photosynthesis
TL;DR: A hybrid water splitting–biosynthetic system based on a biocompatible Earth-abundant inorganic catalyst system to split water into molecular hydrogen and oxygen at low driving voltages that has a CO2 reduction energy efficiency exceeding that of natural photosynthetic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Better together: engineering and application of microbial symbioses.
TL;DR: It is clear that continued study is necessary for the understanding and engineering of microbial systems that are more than the sum of their parts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the sub-pathways of the Chloroflexus aurantiacus 3-hydroxypropionate carbon fixation bicycle in E. coli: Toward horizontal transfer of autotrophic growth.

TL;DR: The 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HPA) bicycle is unique among CO2-fixing systems in that none of its enzymes appear to be affected by oxygen as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic memory in Bacillus subtilis links dormancy entry and exit by a spore quantity-quality tradeoff.
Alper Mutlu,Stephanie Trauth,Stephanie Trauth,Marika Ziesack,Katja Nagler,Katja Nagler,Jan Philip Bergeest,Jan Philip Bergeest,Karl Rohr,Karl Rohr,Nils B. Becker,Nils B. Becker,Thomas Höfer,Thomas Höfer,Ilka B. Bischofs,Ilka B. Bischofs +15 more
TL;DR: A theoretical analysis and experiments with signaling mutants exhibiting altered sporulation timing support the hypothesis that such an intrinsically generated memory leads to a tradeoff between spore quantity and spore quality, which could drive the emergence of complex microbial traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
