Scientists invent light-powered yeast.
TL;DR
Researchers have created a new type of yeast that can use light as energy by inserting a rhodopsin gene from a marine bacterium into brewer's yeast. This breakthrough is the first step towards engineering artificial photosynthesis and could lead to more complex modes of genetic engineering.
