A third autotrophic pathway (Wood–Ljungdahl pathway) uses a reductive acetyl-CoA pathway and is only found in strictly anaerobic bacteria and archaea. A fourth pathway uses the 3 ...

As the scientific community seeks sustainable solutions to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO 2) footprint, nature offers inspiration: in addition to photosynthetic carbon fixation, there are other natural ...

The mechanism observed in the experiments, known as the reverse water-gas shift reaction, bears a striking resemblance to the acetyl-CoA pathway utilized by certain bacteria and archaea.
