Expression of tardigrade disordered proteins impacts the tolerance to biofuels in a model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

ABSTRACT: Tardigrades, known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are diminutive animals capable of surviving many extreme environments, even been exposed to space in low Earth orbit. Recently termed tardigrade disordered proteins (TDPs) include three families as cytoplasmic-(CAHS), secreted-(SAHS), and mitochondrial-abundant heat soluble (MAHS) proteins. How these tiny animals survive these stresses has remained relatively mysterious. Cyanobacteria cast attention as a "microbial factory" to produce biofuels and high-value-added chemicals due to their ability to photosynthesis and CO₂ sequestration. We explored a lot about biofuel stress and related mechanisms in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The previous studies show that CAHS protein heterogenous expression in bacteria, yea
