Algal Photosensitization of Methanosarcina barkeri for CO2-to-CH4 Production.

Anaerobic digestion is applied to organic wastes, yet a substantial fraction of carbon is released as CO2 because methanogens lack of low potential reducing equivalents. Here we show that heat-treated residues of algae Chlorella sorokiniana can be repurposed as chlorophyll-based biophotosensitizers to couple visible li...
