This study shows Methanosarcina acetivorans can convert acetate to ethanol and methane, producing 40% ethanol from acetate, more than from methane or with a modified Mcr.

This paper engineers methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) to enhance methane and carbon dioxide capture by identifying beneficial substitutions that improve biofilm growth and methane capture.

The paper enhances reverse methanogenesis by silencing the native Mcr gene in engineered archaea to boost methane conversion into ethanol and acetate.

This paper computationally redesigns PETase to improve its stability and PET degradation efficiency using the GRAPE strategy.
