Global gene expression of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was
examined by microarray analysis. Cultures were encapsulated in gels derived from aqueous …

Stresses imposed on the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by various
compounds present during silica sol–gel encapsulation, including salt, ethanol (EtOH) …

Cyanobacteria inhabit nearly every ecosystem on earth, play a vital role in nutrient cycling,
and are useful as model organisms for fundamental research in photosynthesis and carbon …

Cyanobacteria are emerging as promising hosts for production of advanced biofuels such as
n-butanol and alkanes. However, cyanobacteria suffer from the same product inhibition …

Background This study aimed at exploring the molecular physiological consequences of a
major redirection of carbon flow in so-called cyanobacterial cell factories: quantitative whole …

We analyzed DNA microarrays to identify highly expressed genes during stationary-phase
growth of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Many identified genes are on endogenous …

Fragments of Synechocystis-DNA driving salt-induced gene expression in E. coli were
isolated with translational fusions to a′ lacZ gene. One fragment (fragment 19) showed a …

Background The use of photosynthetic autotrophs and in particular the model organism
Synechocystis PCC6803 is receiving much attention for the production of sustainable …

Background The production of biofuels in photosynthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria is a
promising alternative to the generation of fuels from fossil resources. To be economically …

Background Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is an attractive organism for the production of
alcohols, such as isobutanol and ethanol. However, because stress against the produced …
