Moorella thermoacetica, previously known as Clostridium thermoaceticum is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.[1]
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, including Peidong Yang, were able to induce M. thermoacetica to photosynthesize, despite its not being photosynthetic. It also synthesized semiconductor nanoparticles, thus using light to produce chemical products other than those produced in photosynthesis.[2]
