An Electro–Microbial Process to Uncouple Food Production from Photosynthesis for Application in Space Exploration
2022-04-28
Abstract excerpt
Here we propose the concept of an electro–microbial route to uncouple food production from photosynthesis, thereby enabling production of nutritious food in space without the need to grow plant-based crops. In the proposed process, carbon dioxide is fixed into ethanol using either chemical catalysis or microbial carbon fixation, and the ethanol created is used as a carbon source for yeast to synthesize food...
