Dual-cycle CO2 fixation enhances growth and lipid synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Carbon fixation through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle accounts for the majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake from the atmosphere. The CBB cycle generates C3 carbohydrates but is inefficient...

Rubisco limits plant CO₂ fixation. Lu et al. engineered Arabidopsis with a synthetic McG cycle, turning a Rubisco by-product into acetyl-CoA. Result: more lipids, seeds & biomass—a proof-of-concept to boost carbon fixation by creating a synthetic “C2” plant.

Toxins from one bacterial species contribute to genetic diversity of others

Bacterial toxins that cause mutations in surviving cells profoundly shape bacterial diversity and could contribute to antibiotic resistance.
