Photosynthetic production of amorpha-4,11-diene from CO2 in engineered S. elongatus PCC 7942 strains. a In situ-extracted samples from hexadecane overlay using engineered E. coli strain [39] (peak 1) and S. elongatus strains (peak 2) were analyzed using GC–MS. The internal standard (IS) is caryophyllene. b Mass spectra and retention times of amorpha-4,11-diene from either the E. coli strain [39] or engineered S. elongatus strains. RT retention time (in min). c Growth (square) and production of amorpha-4,11-diene (bar) by engineered S. elongatus strains: SeHL11A, SeHL22A, SeHL31A, SeHL32A, SeHL33A, and SeHL41A. All data are the mean ± standard deviation (SD) from the triplicated cultures
