Introducing carbon assimilation in yeasts using photosynthetic directed endosymbiosis - Nature Communications
Transforming model heterotrophs into autotrophs is usually accomplished by engineering one carbon assimilation pathway and/or employing laboratory evolution. Here, the authors report the engineering o...

Photosynthetic directed endosymbiosis to investigate the role of bioenergetics in chloroplast function and evolution - Nature Communications
Cyanobacterial bioenergetics may have driven chloroplast evolution. Here, the authors show that cyanobacterial endosymbionts expressing plastidic ADP/ATP carrier translocases from red algae and glauco...
