Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique for capturing carbon dioxide and converting the carbon dioxide to carbonate minerals using a recombinant whole cell biocatalyst expressing carbonic anhydrase. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition for capturing carbon dioxide and a method for capturing carbon dioxide using the composition, which composition comprises a whole cell of a transformant formed with a vector including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant carbonic anhydrase; a cell lysate or its fraction of the whole cell; or a recombinant carbonic anhydrase isolated from the whole cell. Further, the present invention relates to a composition and method for converting the carbon dioxide to carbonate minerals using the carbon dioxide capturing composition.
