That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

According to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat ...

Unlike most autotrophic organisms, which sustain themselves by using a single carbon fixation pathway, Riftia's chemoautotrophic endosymbionts possess two functional carbon fixation pathways.

According to a predictive model, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity. This conclusion was reached by basing the ...

The correlation between declining eukaryotic phytoplankton populations and decreased primary production suggests that these organisms are key drivers of carbon fixation in nutrient-poor regions.

According to a predictive model developed by a CNRS researcher1 and his European colleagues, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to ...

Researchers discover acetogenesis in archaea, suggesting an important role for these little-studied organisms in generating organic carbon below the seafloor. Marine viruses may be key players in the ...

The reactions of carbon fixation are controlled by specific enzymes. The overall process of carbon fixation is summarised in the diagram below.

Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and Berg et al. now report a fifth pathway that is used by archaea from diverse habitats. The best-known autotrophic pathway is the ...
