Abstract

Once genetically engineered in specific ways, an ordinary photosynthetic cyanobacterium boosts its sugar output and export considerably, moving such cells an important step toward commercially feasible use for making fuels and other carbon compounds, according to Pamela Silver of Harvard Medical School (HMS) in Boston, Mass., and her collaborators. Their research appears in the April 2012 Applied and Environmental Microbiology (78:2660–2668, doi:10.1128/AEM.07901-11).
