DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2020.106898
Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships of and within non-photosynthetic parasitic lineages are notoriously poorly known, which negatively affects our understanding of parasitic plants. This is also the case for Cistanche (Orobanchaceae), an Old World genus with about two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52927-7
Abstract: Ramlibacter tataouinensis TTB310, a non-photosynthetic betaproteobacterium isolated from a semi-arid region of southern Tunisia, forms both rods and cysts. Cysts are resistant to desiccation and divide when water and nutrients are available. Rods are motile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d0gc01820a
Abstract: To alleviate carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, alternative approaches have been considered, such as employing microorganisms capable of CO2-fixation using their own metabolic pathways. In this study, we introduced a synthetic CO2-fixation pathway into the industrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17538947.2025.2543566
Abstract: ABSTRACT Wind erosion is a major driver of land degradation in drylands. China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP) aims to mitigate this by converting cropland to forest and grassland. However, previous assessments of its effectiveness… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fny039
Abstract: Biological CO2 fixation is an important technology that can assist in combating climate change. Here, we show an approach called anaerobic, non-photosynthetic mixotrophy can result in net CO2 fixation when using a reduced feedstock. This… read more here.
