Sentences with phrase «photosynthesis of acetic acid»
«By inducing the self - photosensitization of M. thermoacetica with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles, we enabled the photosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide over several days of light - dark cycles at relatively high quantum yields, demonstrating a self - replicating route toward solar - to - chemical carbon dioxide reduction.»

As both an «electrograph» (meaning it can undergo direct electron transfers from an electrode), and an «acetogen» (meaning it can direct nearly 90 - percent of its photosynthetic products towards acetic acid), M. thermoacetica serves as the ideal model organism for demonstrating the capabilities of this hybrid artificial photosynthesis system.
The M. thermoacetica usually eat sugars as a power source for their production of acetic acid, and they do not perform any photosynthesis.
