In a breakthrough discovery for the planet’s environment, researchers have come up with a new way to make bacteria convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into eco-friendly gas, plastics as well as biodiesel, thus offering a means for biodegradable chemical manufacturing.

A team of researchers from the Colorado Boulder University have come up with live factories of low powered nanobio hybrid organisms which consume nitrogen and CO2 and convert them to biodegradable fuel, plastic as well as biodiesel.

According to lead author of the research, Prashant Nagpal, this innovation could replace the present carbon intensive manufacturing one day.

The researchers utilized low activated carbon dots or the research. These dots are nothing but small-sized semiconductors similar to the ones which are found in TV. They can be administered into the cells are basically designed to stick to the enzymes and then activate them by utilizing particular light wavelengths.

When triggered using red wavelengths, the cells ate CO2 to develop plastic while, using green wavelengths caused the cells to consume nitrogen to develop ammonia. The cells did not require energy source to conduct the biochemical-conversion.

The organisms release the resultant product to the water surface which can be gathered and then used for biodegradable chemical manufacturing.
