INTRACELLULAR BACTERIUM

Bacterial intracellular solar container

Here, we introduce an intracellular, biocompatible light absorber, in the form of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), to circumvent the sluggish kinet-ics of electron transfer for existing PBSs. Translocation of these AuNCs into non-photosynthetic bacteria enables pho-tosynthesis of acetic acid from CO2. [pdf]
