Global metabolic rewiring for improved CO2 fixation and chemical production in cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria are promising biofactories to reduce atmospheric CO2 and convert it into chemicals. Here the authors engineer Synechococcus elongatus carbon metabolism to increase 2,3-butanediol production from glucose and CO2under light and dark conditions.
