Impact of glgA1, glgA2 or glgC overexpression on growth and glycogen production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

Low production rates are still one limiting factor for the industrial climate-neutral production of biovaluable compounds in cyanobacteria. Next to optimized cultivation conditions, new production strategies are required. Hence, the use of established molecular tools could lead to increased product yields in the cyanobacterial model organism Synechocystis sp.
