Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacterial mutants defective in acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase (Aas) produce free fatty acids (FFAs) because the FFAs generated by deacylation of membrane lipids cannot be recycled. An engineered Aas-deficient mutant of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 grew normally under low-light (LL) conditions (50 µmol photons m-2 s-1) but was unable to sustain growth under high-light (HL) conditions (400 µmol photons m-2...
