Abstract:Improvement of photosynthesis requires a thorough understanding of electron partitioning under both natural and strong electron sink conditions. We applied a wide array of state-of-the-art biophysical and biochemical techniques to thoroughly investigate the fate of photosynthetic electrons in the engineered cyanobacteriumSynechocystissp. PCC 6803, a blueprint for photosynthetic biotechnology, expressing the heterologous gene for ene-reductase, YqjM. This recombinant enzyme catalyses the reduction of an exogeno… Show more
