摘　　要：While the typical targets of(chemo-)enzymatic cascades are fine chemicals(e.g.,pharmaceuticals),a chemoen-zymatic cascade,artificial starch anabolic pathway(ASAP),was recently developed to synthesize starch from CO_(2).The key results and outstanding features of ASAP are discussed here.We envision that ASAP and its mi-crobial counterpart may enable efficient synthesis of food and sequestration of CO_(2)in a circular manner,thus contributing to a sustainable and hunger-free world and future habitation in space.
