They found the mechanism in a primitive, non-photosynthesizing microbe.Photosynthesis, creating oxygen and carbohydrates such as glucose from solar energy, water, and CO2, is indispensable for many species on this planet. However, it is unclear exactly how or when organisms evolved the ability to photosynthesize. These questions have fascinated scientists for a long time.The research group discovered that Methanospirillum hungatei, a microbe (methanogenic archaeon) which is thought to have existed since before the development of photosynthesis, possess genes similar to those that play a role in photosynthesis. Through analysis of the enzymes synthesized by these genes and by investigating the metabolic substances within the organism, carrying out metabolome analysis to locate the trapped CO2, the team proved that Methanospirillum hungatei uses a primitive pathway that closely resembles the metabolic pathway used in photosynthesis to synthesize carbohydrates such as glucose.By clarifying part of the primitive metabolic pathway for photosynthesis, these findings could help to reveal how the photosynthesis system formed during evolution, a mystery that scientists have so far been unable to solve. If further light can be shed on the evolution of photosynthesis, scientists could potentially utilize this information to use and improve upon photosynthetic functions in order to increase production of crops and biofuel.This research was carried out as part of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) Strategic Basic Research Programs. It was a joint project by Kobe University, Ritsumeikan University, the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Birla Institute of Technology and Science (India), Osaka University and Shizuoka University. The findings were published on January 13 in the online journal Nature Communications.Please click here for further details (PDF).Figure 1: The primitive Calvin cycle in methanospirillum hungateiAcknowledgementsJapan Science and Technology Agency (JST)Journal informationTitle“A RuBisCO-mediated novel carbon metabolism in methanogenic archaea”DOI10.1038/ncomms14007AuthorsTakunari Kono, Sandhya Mehrotra, Chikako Endo, Natsuko Kizu, Mami Matusda, Hiroyuki Kimura, Eiichi Mizohata, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Tomohisa Hasunuma, Akiho Yokota, Hiroyoshi Matsumura, Hiroki AshidaJournalNature CommunicationsResearchersAshida HirokiProfessorGraduate School of Human Development and EnvironmentHasunuma TomohisaProfessorEngineering Biology Research CenterSDGs)">)">Graduate School of Human Development and EnvironmentGraduate School of EngineeringSHAREMore from these researchersInterviews2023.02.20Engineering sciencesBioengineering to Achieve Carbon NeutralityPress releases2022.07.08Engineering sciencesBioproduction Breakthrough: New method for developing Pichia pastoris yeast strains with high productivity of useful proteinsPress releases2022.06.10Engineering sciencesTyrosine chassis for sustainable, high-yield production of useful compounds in yeast smart cellsPress releases2021.05.06Engineering sciencesMicroalgae biofuelsMore about these topicsPress releases2019.03.26Agriculture and EnvironmentWhy photosynthesis works better for some plants than othersPress releases2020.09.15Agriculture and EnvironmentSuccessful improvement of the catalytic activity of photosynthetic CO2 fixing enzyme RubiscoInterviews2023.04.14Agriculture and EnvironmentAiming to feed future generations without faminePress releases2021.06.22Agriculture and EnvironmentIlluminating the mechanism behind how plants regulate starch synthesisページの先頭へ1-1, Rokkodai-cho, Nada-ku, Kobe, 657-8501, JAPANProspective studentsCurrent studentsAlumsCorporate and societyFaculty and staffContactAccessJobsOfficial social media accountsCampus calendarPrivacy policySite policySite map© Kobe University
