Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...

Lessons to be learned from nature could lead to the development of an artificial version of photosynthesis that would provide us with an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible energy source, say ...

The green sulfur bacterium makes its home in the chilly waters of the Black Sea. To eek out its lonely existence, this life form scavenges energy from the feeble sunlight available to it at a depth of ...

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Various processes are occurring inside the living organism. Each of these processes has its essentiality and is thus important for the survival of the organisms. One ...

In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2­) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon ...
