Genomic Insights on the Carbon-Negative Workhorse: Systematical Comparative Genomic Analysis on 56 Synechococcus Strains.

ABSTRACT: Synechococcus, a type of ancient photosynthetic cyanobacteria, is crucial in modern carbon-negative synthetic biology due to its potential for producing bioenergy and high-value products. With its high biomass, fast growth rate, and established genetic manipulation tools, Synechococcus has become a research focus in recent years. Abundant germplasm resources have been accumulated from various habitats, including temperature and salinity conditions relevant to industrialization. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of complete genomes of the 56 Synechococcus strains currently available in public databases was performed, clarifying genetic relationships, the adaptability of Synechococcus to the environment, and its reflection at the genomic level. This was carr
