Abstract:As the need to develop sustainable and renewable sources of chemicals and energy is increasing, cyanobacteria have emerged as an attractive industrial microorganism. Using energy from sunlight, H 2 O, and CO 2 , cyanobacteria can either produce naturally or be genetically engineered to produce high-value chemicals and next-generation biofuels. The list of chemicals that cyanobacteria have produced is extensive and constantly growing, however the titers of the chemicals produced by cyanobacteria are generally l… Show more
