Rhodospirillum rubrum metabolic state during conversion of CO2 to ethylene

Lead Institution
The Ohio State University
Principal Investigator
Justin North
Project type
Exploratory Research
Ethylene (C2H4) is an essential plant hormone and is the chemical building block for nearly all plastics, detergents, and coolants. More ethylene is synthesized than any other industrial compound (…
