This project explores the potential of synthetic biology to enhance photosynthesis by engineering bacteria to produce a new photopigment. By broadening the light spectrum utilized in photosynthesis, it aims to improve energy capture efficiency, contributing to food and energy security.
Sunlight is the most abundant and sustainable energy source available to us.
It drives photosynthesis, the source of all food and most energy resources on Earth.
Phototrophic organisms use antenna complexes to absorb solar energy, and derived excitation energy migrates towards specialised pigment-protein complexes called reaction centres.
Here, photosynthetic electron transfer is initiated, converting solar energy into a form that can be stored and used to power cell metabolism.
The absorption c…
