Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria produce glycogen as their primary form of carbohydrate storage. The genomic DNA sequence of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 indicates that this strain encodes one glycogen-branching enzyme (GBE) and two isoforms of glycogen synthase (GS). To confirm the putative GBE and to demonstrate the presence of only one GBE gene, we generated a mutant lacking the putative GBE gene, sll0158, by replacing it with a...
