Construction of a chassis for hydrogen production: physiological and molecular characterization of a Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 mutant lacking a functional bidirectional hydrogenase.

Abstract excerpt

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that are promising 'low-cost' microbial cell factories due to their simple nutritional requirements and metabolic plasticity, and the availability of tools for their genetic manipulation. The unicellular non-nitrogen-fixing Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is the best studied cyanobacterial strain and its genome was the first to be sequenced. The vast amount of physiological...
