A team at UCLA is introducing a biological yet non-photosynthetic CO 2 reduction mechanism that has the potential to yield environmental and economic benefits via CO 2 -derived high-value products. Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. Acetogenic microbes (e.g., an and Park.
