Slr1670 from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is required for the re-assimilation of the osmolyte glucosylglycerol

When subjected to mild salt stress, the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 produces small amounts of glycerol through an as of yet unidentified pathway. Here, we show that this glycerol is a degradation product of the main osmolyte of this organism, glucosylglycerol (GG). Inactivation of ggpS...
