Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Researchers from Newcastle University, UK have engineered Escherichia coli bacteria to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) using hydrogen gas (H2) to convert it into formic acid. The research, published today in Applied and Environmental Microbiology raises the possibility of converting atmospheric CO2 to commodity chemicals.
