Alka(e)ne production in Synechocystis mutants overexpressing cyanobacteria alkane biosynthetic genes. (A) Alka(e)ne production in Synechocystis mutants overexpressing sll0208 (LX31), sll0209 (LX33) and both genes (LX32) compared with Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 (6803yu). Error bars represent the standard deviation of three replicates. (B) Alka(e)ne production in Synechocystis mutants overexpressing orf1594 and Npun_R1711 (LX39), alkane biosynthetic genes from Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 (LX34) and Nostoc punctiforme PCC73102 (LX35) compared with wildtype strain (6803yu) and LX32 mutant. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three replicates.
