Introducing carbon assimilation in yeasts using photosynthetic directed endosymbiosis by Yang-le Gao, Jay Cournoyer, Bidhan C. De, Catherine L. Wallace, Alexander V. Ulanov, Michael R. La Frano, Angad P. Mehta

“…Here, we develop a directed endosymbiosis approach to introduce carbon assimilation in budding yeasts. Particularly, we engineer carbon assimilating and sugar-secreting photosynthetic cyanobacterial endosymbionts within the yeast cells, which results in the generation of yeast/cyanobacteria chimeras that propagate under photosynthetic conditions in the presence of CO2 and in the absence of feedstock carbon sources like glucose or glycerol. …”
