Abstract excerpt
Glycogen synthesis initiated by glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (glgC) represents a major carbon storage route in cyanobacteria which could divert a significant portion of assimilated carbon. Significant growth retardation in cyanobacteria with glgC knocked out (ΔglgC) has been reported in high light conditions. Here, we knocked out the glgC gene and analyzed its effects on carbon distribution in an...
