Growth curve (A–C), chlorophyll a content (D–F), and carotenoid content (G–I) of Synechocystis WTc, Δadc1c, OXP, and OXP/Δadc1 strains adapted in normal BG₁₁ medium, BG₁₁ medium with N and P deprivation (BG₁₁-N-P), and BG₁₁-N-P supplemented with 4%(w/v) acetate (BG₁₁-N-P + A) medium for 11 days. The error bars represent standard deviations of means (mean ± S.D., n = 3). The statistical difference of the results between those values of WTc and that engineered strain is indicated by an asterisk at *P < 0.05
