Title:
DECREASING RUBISCO CONTENT OF ALGAE AND CYANOBACTERIA CULTIVATED IN HIGH CARBON DIOXIDE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/027505
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Algae and cyanobacteria are genetically engineered to have lower RUBISCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) content in order to grow more efficiently at elevated carbon dioxide levels while recycling industrial CO2 emissions back to products, and so as not to be able to grow outside of cultivation.
