Few synthetic CO2-fixation pathways have been tested in vivo. Now, the new-to-nature THETA cycle is designed, realized in vitro and modular implemented in vivo. This cycle involves 17 enzymes, including the two most active carboxylases known so far, to produce the central building block acetyl-CoA using CO2.
