Abstract: A recombinant bacteria which is genetically modified to express formate dehydrogenase (FDH), phosphoribulokinase (prk) and Ribulose-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is disclosed. The bacteria may be modified to be autotrophic.

Abstract: An isolated microorganism that expresses enzymes of the reductive glycine pathway is disclosed. The microorganism is capable of converting formate to pyruvate or glycerate via the formation of glycine and serine. Methods of generating same are further described.

Abstract: A microorganism which is genetically modified so that it produces a first essential biomass precursor by metabolizing CO2 using a recombinant carbon fixation enzyme is disclosed. The microorganism produces a second biomass precursor by metabolizing an organic carbon source and not by metabolizing CO2. The microorganism does not use the organic carbon source for producing the first essential biomass precursor.

Abstract: A system for carbon fixation is provided. The system comprises enzymes which catalyze reactions of a carbon fixation pathway, wherein at least one of the reactions of the carbon fixation pathway is a carboxylation reaction, wherein products of the reactions of the carbon fixation pathway comprise oxaloacetate and malonyl-CoA, wherein an enzyme which performs the carboxylation reaction is selected from the group consisting of phophoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxlase, pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase and wherein an export product of the carbon fixation pathway is glyoxylate. Additional carbon fixation pathways are also provided and methods of generating same.

Abstract: An isolated microorganism is disclosed being genetically modified to express pyruvate formate lyase (PFL) or 2-ketobutyrate formate lyase, wherein acetyl-CoA of the microorganism is converted to pyruvate in the presence of formate in a single step reaction, wherein the net flux of the reaction is in the direction of pyruvate synthesis. Uses of the microorganism and products comprising same are also disclosed.
