The reactions of carbon fixation are controlled by specific enzymes. The overall process of carbon fixation is summarised in the diagram below.

Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and Berg et al. now report a fifth pathway that is used by archaea from diverse habitats. The best-known autotrophic pathway is the ...

Synthetic biology offers the opportunity to build biochemical pathways for the capture and conversion of carbon dioxide (CO .

Among the plant metabolisms in use today, some use significantly more efficient carbon fixation pathways ... also increases. Diagram of the leaf anatomy of C3 (A) and C4 (B) plants.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Nitrogen is a major nutrient supporting the growth of phytoplankton, which are small algae responsible for the vast portion of carbon fixation and oxygen production ... phytoplankton growth period. A ...

While we wouldn’t want to document a computer motherboard with ASCII schematics, it’s great for a quick-and-dirty circuit diagrams. Not exactly schematics, but [Duckman] has some Arduino ...

Learn more here. Radiocarbon dating, or carbon-14 dating, is a scientific method that can accurately determine the age of organic materials as old as approximately 60,000 years. First developed in the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system ...

The researchers say this is a more economically feasible carbon fixation system than previous systems involving C. necator, and it could be expanded to other microbial strains as well. The authors ...

BERLIN—Germany invented the protestant work ethic. Now it is falling out of love with the grind. Germans worked 1,343 hours ...
