Abstract excerpt
The ggpS gene, which encodes the key enzyme for the synthesis of the compatible solute glucosylglycerol (GG), has a promoter region that overlaps with the upstream-located gene slr1670 in the cyanobacterium Synechocystissp. PCC 6803. Like ggpS, the slr1670 gene is salt-induced and encodes a putative glucosylhydrolase. A mutant strain with a slr1670 deletion was generated and found to be unable to adapt the...
