A step towards on-chip biochemical energy cascade of microorganisms: carbon dioxide generation induced by ethanol fermentation in 3D printed modular lab-on-a-chip

[摘要] The concept of biochemical energy cascade of microorganisms towards oxygen generation in 3D printed lab-on-a-chip has been presented. In this work, carbon dioxide - a product of ethanol fermentation of yeasts has been utilized to enable light-initialized photosynthesis of euglenas and as a result of their metabolic transitions produce pure oxygen.
