Abstract excerpt
Sucrose is naturally synthesized by many cyanobacteria under high salt conditions, which can be applied to produce this widely used feedstock. To improve sucrose production with the moderate halo-tolerant cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, we identified and biochemically characterized the sucrose-degrading invertase. Inactivating the invertase encoding gene sll0626 (inv) significantly increased cellular...
