Article Synopsis
- The studied strain can grow using both light and chemical energy, making it effective for turning carbon dioxide into valuable products, but it struggles with low transformation efficiency.
- The researchers improved this efficiency by knocking out a gene that produces a DNA restriction enzyme, which inhibits transformation.
- They optimized electroporation conditions, leading to a significant increase in transformants—over 7,000 per µg of DNA—making the strain more useful for industrial applications.
