Simultaneous analysis of growth and terpene production of the Synechocystis PCC 6803 strains engineered in this study. Typical photoautotrophic growth (under a 20% (vol/vol) dodecane overlay) and terpene production of the Synechocystis strains expressing a terpene synthase gene from the following plasmids: A pCPS (pinene synthase), B pCLS (limonene synthase), C pCBS (bisabolene synthase), D pCSS (santalene synthase that produces α-santalene, α-exo-bergamotene and epi-β-santalene) and E pCFS (farnesene synthase). F Growth and farnesene production of the strains expressing the FS gene from either or both the pCFS plasmid and the slr0168 neutral chromosomal site (ChrFS). In most cases, two 2 clones (noted as c1, c2) were analyzed. Error bars represent standard deviation from n ≥ 2 biological replicates
