The adc1 knockout with proC overexpression in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 induces a diversion of acetyl-CoA to produce more polyhydroxybutyrate | Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Lack of nutrients, in particular nitrogen and phosphorus, has been known in the field to sense glutamate production via 2-oxoglutarate and subsequently accelerate carbon storage, including glycogen and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), in cyanobacteria, but a few studies have focused on arginine catabolism. In this study, we first time demonstrated that gene manipulation on proC and adc1, related to proline and polyamine syntheses in arginine catabolism, had a significant impact on enhanced PHB production during late growth phase and nutrient-modified conditions. We constructed Synechocystis sp. PCC ...
