Xylose is a major component of lignocellulose and the second most abundant sugar present in nature after glucose; it, therefore, has been considered to be a promising renewable resource for the production of biofuels and chemicals. However, no natural cyanobacterial strain is known capable of utilizing xylose. Here, we take the fast-growing cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 as an example to develop the synthetic biology-based methodology of constructing a new xylose-utilizing cyanobacterial chassis with increased acetyl-CoA for bioproduction.

Photomixotrophic cultivation of cyanobacteria is considered a promising strategy to achieve both high cell density and product accumulation, since cyanobacteria can obtain carbon and energy sources from organic matter in addition to those obtained from CO and sunlight. Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a key precursor used for the biosynthesis of a wide variety of important value-added chemicals. However, the acetyl-CoA content in cyanobacteria is typically low under photomixotrophic conditions, which limits the productivity of the derived chemicals.
