Summary

Current CO₂ capture methods are inefficient and harmful to microbes used for biofuel production. This research studies how CO₂-capturing liquids damage fuel-producing microbes and identifies tolerant strains. By understanding microbial responses at the genetic level, it aims to design microbe-friendly capture systems that convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels.
