Abstract excerpt
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) is an important but challenging protein engineering target. Fast and selective rubiscos could enhance photosynthesis in plants and accelerate biobased production processes. To facilitate engineering of rubisco, we applied an in vivo screen that couples rubisco activity to growth rate of the photoautotrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. We...
