Photosynthesis powers the carbon cycle through the air, living things, the soil and the waters. But although photosynthesis feeds on CO2, it can no longer balance the carbon equation now that so much more CO2 is released by human technologies. Working at MIT, Jovine has researched attempts to improve photosynthesis to remediate the earth. The process is understood at the molecular levels and synthetic biology techniques should be able to improve on nature. We are not there…
