Awakening a latent carbon fixation cycle in Escherichia coli
Current efforts to establish synthetic carbon fixation in model heterotrophs rely on expression of heterologous enzymes. Here, the authors explore the presence and activity of a latent CO2-assimilation pathway in E. coli based only on endogenous enzymes and a reversible decarboxylase.
