Identification of a Far-Red Light-Inducible Promoter that Exhibits Light Intensity Dependency and Reversibility in a Cyanobacterium.

ABSTRACT: As the demand for sustainable energy has increased, photoautotrophic cyanobacteria have become a popular platform for developing tools in synthetic biology. Although genetic tools are generally available for several model cyanobacteria, such tools have not yet been developed for many other strains potentially suitable for industrial applications. Additionally, most inducible promoters in cyanobacteria are controlled by chemical compounds, but adding chemicals into growth media on an industrial scale is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly. Although using light-controlled promoters is an alternative approach, only a cyanobacterial expression system inducible by green light has so far been described and employed for such applications. In this study, we have established a conju
