From: Engineering cyanobacteria to improve photosynthetic production of alka(e)nes
Alka(e)ne production can be enhanced effectively by redirecting the carbon flux to acyl-ACP. (A) Alka(e)ne production in Synechocystis mutants overexpressing sll0208 and sll0209 in slr1609 over-producing strain (LX38) and phaA gene deletion mutant (LX40) compared with wildtype strain (6803yu) and LX32 mutant. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three replicates. (B) Alka(e)ne production in Synechocystis mutants overexpressing sll0208 and sll0209 in acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes (LX57) and lipolytic enzyme gene (LX58) over-producing strain compared with wildtype strain (6803yu) and LX32 mutant. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three replicates.
