Material–microbe hybrids represent a promising strategy for harnessing biochemical reactivity using sunlight, yet little is known about the effect of the interaction on the organism. Here the interface of a CO2- and N2-fixing bacterium to CdTe alters its biochemical pathways, resulting in quantum efficiency close to the theoretical limit.
