Corresponding author of the paper, director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biology , Chinese Academy of Sciences , and researcher Ma Yanhe, introduced that the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biology , Chinese Academy of Sciences , designed a new way of unnatural carbon dioxide fixation and starch synthesis with 11 main reactions from scratch.
To the total synthesis of starch molecules
.

The research team adopted a method similar to “building blocks”, and combined with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to use chemical catalysts to reduce high-concentration carbon dioxide to carbon-compounds under the action of high-density hydrogen energy, and then construct a new carbon-polymerization system through design.

Experts in the field at home and abroad commented that the result is a "typical 0 to 1 original breakthrough", a "major breakthrough in the frontier research field of expanding and enhancing the ability of artificial photosynthesis, and a scientific research achievement of great significance to the "indomitable".
"It will not only have a revolutionary impact on future agricultural production, especially food production, but also have a milestone significance for the development of the global biomanufacturing industry.
" "It will bring a transformative impact in the next generation of biomanufacturing and agricultural production.
"
.

This research work has received forward-looking funding and support from the key deployment projects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Tianjin Synthetic Biotechnology Innovation Capability Improvement Initiative.
It is the key research direction of the National Synthetic Biotechnology Innovation Center
