AUDACity: DAC Polymer-Enhanced Cyanobacterial Bioproductivity
Background Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods from atmospheric air, including direct air capture (DAC), is essential to limit the spread of global warming. However, current DAC approaches based on thermal and pressure swings are very energy intensive. Moisture-driven DAC using strong-base anion exchange resins (AER) reversibly binds CO2 from ambient...

Synthetic Translation-Sensing Riboswitches
Translational coupling is a form of gene regulation in which the translation of one protein influences another. It is widely used in prokaryotes to control the production of genes within a metabolic pathway, or in bacteriophages to efficiently regulate translation within their extremely compact genomes.Researchers at Arizona State University have developed...

Atmospheric CO2 Enrichment and Delivery (ACED)
Microalgae are very useful biological systems for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and generating biomass and many useful products. Increasing the CO2 concentration in gas supplied to a microalgae growth system can improve its productivity many fold over using atmospheric air. Flue gas could be a good source of CO2 -enriched gas; however, its usefulness...
