Depletion of the fossil fuel reserves of the Earth has prompted research into sources of renewable and sustainable energy, and feedstock for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to support the transition towards a bio-based society. Photosynthesis efficiently captures solar energy, but its subsequent conversion into chemical energy in the form of biomass is limited to a final output in the 1-4% range. Re-routing of photosynthetic electron transport and reducing power directly into desired biosynthetic pathways offers a new avenue for sustainable production of high-value products.
地球上化石燃料储备的枯竭促使人们研究可再生和可持续能源的来源，以及化学和制药行业的原料，以支持向基于生物的社会转型。光合作用有效地捕获太阳能，但随后将其转化为生物质形式的化学能的最终输出仅限于 1-4%的范围。直接将光合作用电子传递和还原力重新路由到所需的生物合成途径为可持续生产高价值产品提供了一条新途径。
