Abstract

In a recent issue of Journal of the American Chemical Society, Zhang et al. grafted choline phosphate-functionalized organic donor-acceptor heterojunctions onto the surface of non-photosynthetic Ralstonia eutropha (R. eutropha), converting the industrial bacterium into a living photocatalyst that continuously fixes CO₂ into the bioplastic poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) under visible light.
