The wasted CO 2 leads to a significant decrease in carbon yield, the researchers observed, which results in a major impact on the overall economy of biorefinery and the carbon efficiency of cell growth. NOG can be a nice platform with different sugars for a 100 percent conversion to acetyl-CoA. —Bogorad et al.
