However, re-fixing the lost CO 2 would incur energetic and kinetic costs. NOG enables complete carbon conservation in sugar catabolism to acetyl-CoA, and can be used in conjunction with CO 2 fixation and other one-carbon (C1) assimilation pathways to achieve a 100% carbon yield to desirable fuels and chemicals. —Bogorad et al.
