Engineered formate dehydrogenase from Chaetomium thermophilum, a promising enzymatic solution for biotechnical CO2 fixation.

CONCLUSIONS: Two variants presenting up to five-fold increase in catalytic efficiency and kcat were obtained and characterised. They constitute a promising enzymatic alternative for CO2 utilization and will serve as scaffolds to be further developed in order to meet industrial requirements.
