Scientists Merge Yeast with Photosynthesis Genes

What happens when scientists give yeast the ability to produce energy like plants do? Dive into the world of bioengineering with Alex Dainis as she explains how scientists have merged the energy-producing capabilities of plants with the versatile properties of fungi, granting yeast the remarkable ability to photosynthesize. She explores the fascinating process of photosynthesis, where plants harness sunlight to produce chemical energy, and witness how this innovative research is reshaping our understanding of microbial evolution. Discover the implications of this groundbreaking discovery as we discuss its potential to revolutionize biofuel production and pave the way for sustainable solutions.
