 지구온난화로 인해 주목받고 있는 기후 위기 문제가 전 세계적 관심으로 대두됨에 따라 이를 해결하기 위한 연구가 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지구 온난화 문제 해결에 일조하기 위해 합성생물학적 기법을 이용하여 자연계에 존재하는 광합성 요소를 모사, 기능을 개발하였다. 광합성 요소의 개발은 복잡한 자연계의 시스템을 집약하여 보다 효율적으로 광합성을 실현할 수 있는 연구이다.

1장에서는 광합성에 대한 전반적인 이해 및 생물학적 광합성 요소의 선행 연구, 그리고 본 논문에 대한 목적에 대해 정리하였다. 2, 3장에서는 광합성 암반응 요소의 기능 개량 연구, 4장에서는 광합성 명반응을 모사한 연구에 대해 기술하였다. 광합성 암반응 요소로써 탄소 환원에 관여하는 2-oxoglutarate oxidoreductase와 formaldehyde dehydrogenase 의 돌연변이 연구를 통해 야생형 효소보다 각각 최대 2.8배, 5.5배 증가한 돌연변이를 개발하였다. 광합성 명반응 요소 연구에서는 빛 에너지를 이용할 수 있는 프로테오로돕신 광기구 모듈과 프로토포르피린 IX 생합성 경로를 도입하여 세포 내 ATP 레벨을 90 ~ 120 %, 프로토포르피린 IX 생성량을 45 % 증가시킨 연구를 기술하였다.

본 연구는 무한한 에너지원인 빛과 이산화탄소의 이용을 활성화하기 위해 광합성 요소를 적용, 및 활성 개량을 한 연구이다. 이와 같은 광합성 요소 기술의 연구는 생물학적 인공 광합성의 실현 가능성을 제시하므로 탄소 이용 연구 및 산업계에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
