Abstract excerpt
During cultivation under storage conditions with BG11 medium containing acetate as a carbon source, Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) up to 10% (w/w) of the cell dry weight. Our analysis of the complete Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 genome sequence, which had recently become available, revealed that not only the open reading frame slr1830 (which was designated as phaC) but also the open...
