Making oxygen will be very costful... One ATP releases, IIRC, some 36 ATP pre molecule glucose (2 are consumed to get the reaction going).
If you want to set oxygen free from CO2 , you will need exactly those 36 ATP.
So, they need to work anaerobically, thus they only produce 2 ATPs per molecule glucose. Thus they would have to use up 18 molecules glucose to release one oxygen atom from a CO2, right?
While in theory this could still work, the bacteria will then have a strong selective disadvantage... If you consume one E.Coli bacterium with your food that breaths aerobically, it will multiply much quicker than those others...

Hey, my name is Jonny Scott. I love science and I even have a facebook page called Jonny Science although its not that popular yet. So basically, I'm wanting advice on how to get started. I consider myself an inventor tho I've never actually made anything except my 3d printer which had instructions but I have all these ideas. I love trying to think of ways to solve everyday problems like how to make ethanol cheaper as a fuel source or building a home sized nuclear power plant or a nuclear car. One thing I want to do is try to create a genetically engineered bacteria that expels O2. So where do I start? How can I start genetic engineering at home or how do I make a lab. I'm a dirt poor DIY with only $400 to my name but I want to take steps to change the world somehow. Maybe make myself a superhuman on the way somehow. I found this group through biohacking on youtube which seemed fascinating. Theirs a guy who can rip phone books and bend cast iron featured on stan lee's superhumans. Wouldn't genetic manipulations be able to give everyone such strength? There's just so much I want to know in this world, so much I want to do and I dont know how to begin. College isn't getting me anywhere. Its just not fast enough for teaching me what I want to know. I had to spend an entire semester learning Ohms law in a class as a prerequisite for pre-engineering. How lame is that? Anyway, any advice is welcome such as ways to build a chemistry kit on a shoestring budget or how to do genetic experiments. I just have a thirst for knowledge so tell me anything thats cool or useful please.--
