Summary

[edit]
Description

In photosynthesis, solar energy is captured and used to produce chemical fuel by a photosynthetic organism. NSF recently announced an award to a project led by an Arizona State University researcher that is designed to separate the capture and conversion of solar energy into fuel--processes that may be completed by a single cell--into two different organisms that would communicate with one another through electrical currents flowing between them. This separation of photosynthetic processes into different organisms could enable researchers to optimize environments for each of these processes and thereby improve their efficiency.
