Engineering artificial photosynthetic life-forms through endosymbiosis
The endosymbiotic theory posits that chloroplasts in eukaryotes arise from bacterial endosymbionts. Here, the authors engineer the yeast/cyanobacteria chimeras and show that the engineered cyanobacteria perform chloroplast-like functions to support the growth of yeast cells under photosynthetic cond...

| description | The endosymbiotic theory posits that chloroplasts in eukaryotes arise from bacterial endosymbionts. Here, the authors engineer the yeast/cyanobacteria chimeras and show that the engineered cyanobacteria perform chloroplast-like functions to support the growth of yeast cells under photosynthetic conditions. |
