JCVI-UCSD # MACS: The Minimal & Adapted Carbon Sequestration Cell # Anthropogenic activities have led to dangerous levels of atmospheric CO2, exacerbating global climate change. Minimized synthetic carbon-sequestration pathways offer a promising solution to this problem, proven in-vitro and in-silico; however, the deployment of these organisms in vivo remains unexplored. To fill this gap, we aim to install the POAP cycle, a carbon-sequestration cycle, into the minimal cell. The simplicity of this cell’s genome affords us clarity in how the POAP cycle affects biological functions. ...
