Transcriptomic response to long time ethanol production in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

ABSTRACT: The production of biofuels in photosynthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria is considered a promising alternative to the generation of fuels from fossil resources. However, to be economically competitive, producer strains need to be established that synthesize the targeted product at high yield and over a long time. Engineering cyanobacteria to forced fuel producers should considerably interfere with overall cell homeostasis, which in turn might counteract productivity and sustainability of the process. Therefore, in-depth characterization of the cellular response upon long-term production is of high interest for the targeted improvement of a desired strain. Here we report the results of a monitoring experiment, in which the transcriptome-wide response to continuous ethanol production in
