Caption:
Researchers used directed evolution strategies to engineer a new carbon-dioxide-fixing enzyme, glycolyl-CoA carboxylase, or GCC (above), the key enzyme of the tartronyl-CoA (TaCo) pathway. Potential applications of the TaCo pathway include improving the efficiency of photosynthesis and enhancing carbon-dioxide capture technologies.
