Fig. 4From: Photosynthetically produced sucrose by immobilized Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 drives biotransformation in E. coliCharacterization of alginate immobilized Synechocystis S02 cells. A Chl content of immobilized cells; B sucrose production in alginate immobilized Synechocystis S02 cultures; C specific sucrose production yields in suspension cultures and immobilized cells. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three independent biological and two technical replicates. The difference between suspension and alginate-entrapped samples is statistically significant for each time point (P = 0.001–0.006)Back to article page
