Sucrose and glycogen synthesis in S. elongatus FL130. A Schematic representation of sucrose and glycogen synthesis in S. elongatus FL130. The sucrose permease CscB was expressed for sucrose excretion. Genes highlighted in blue encode enzymes for glycogen and sucrose production. In the genome of S. elongatus, the sps encodes a combined SPS/SPP fusion protein. B RT-PCR for monitoring gene expression in sucrose and glycogen synthesis for FL130 in axenic culture and FL130-TWY1.1 co-culture in BG-11[co] medium added with 100 mM NaCl. The *** represents significant difference of p < 0.001
