Abstract

The sustainable conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added compounds is the key to realize a low-carbon economy. Here we discuss the limitation of natural CO2 fixation pathways, describe a strategy to design and realize efficient pathways for CO2 fixation in bottom-up approaches with synthetic biology, and sketch possible future applications of synthetic CO2 fixation.
