In this work, the reversibility of citrate synthase was demonstrated under autotrophic conditions in the model organism
Desulfurella acetivorans. On the other hand, this work revealed a possible pathway to create, under primordial conditions, carbon chains or, in more detail, short fatty acids by transition metal catalysis starting from CO and C
2H
2. To identify these short fatty acids, a novel synthetic approach to form 2,4-diolefinic and 2,4,6-triolefinic monocarboxylic acids by vinylogous Knoevenagel reaction could be established.
