Artificial Photosynthesis Takes a Leap Forward

🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇

💠 German and French researchers create synthetic versions of chloroplasts, organelles where photosynthesis occurs. They used microfluidics to build cell-sized water droplets suspended in oil as compartments for critical reactions. The synthetic system was able to fix carbon in the presence of light like a plant and had all the basic characteristics of photosynthesis.

The technique may be more effective than natural photosynthesis because it does not require photorespiration, a wasteful by-product of natural pathways that use oxygen to generate CO2. It could open the door to the development of genuinely self-sustaining artificial life forms, the researchers say.

Researchers have created a "synthetic chloroplast" that can be programmed to self-repair and self-replicate. The authors say there is scope for pairing this system with other cell-free pathways developed by synthetic biologists. This could make it possible to prototype new metabolic processes before synthetic biologists implant them into cells.

Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥
