Lauric acid production in a glycogen-less Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 mutant

Lauric acid production in a glycogen-less Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 mutant

The cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 was genetically engineered to synthesize biofuel compatible medium-chain fatty acids during photoautotrophic growth. Expression of a heterologous lauroyl-acyl carrier protein (C12:0-ACP) thioesterase with concurrent deletion of the endogenous putative ac...
