Current sources of fermentation feedstocks, i.e., corn, sugar cane, or plant biomass, fall short of demand for liquid transportation fuels and commodity chemicals in the United States. Aquatic phototrophs including cyanobacteria have the potential to supplement the supply of current fermentable feedstocks. In this strategy, cells are engineered to accumulate storage molecules including glycogen, cellulose, and/or lipid oils that can be extracted from harvested biomass and fed to heterotrophic organisms engineered to produce desired chemical products. In this manuscript, we examine the production of glycogen in the model cyanobacteria,

增强富含糖原的生物质的光合作用,以用作发酵原料
在美国,当前发酵原料的来源,即玉米,甘蔗或植物生物质,对液体运输燃料和商品化学品的需求不足。包括蓝细菌在内的水生营养生物有潜力补充当前可发酵原料的供应。在这种策略下,细胞经过工程设计以积累包括糖原,纤维素和/或脂质油在内的存储分子,这些分子可以从收获的生物质中提取出来,并喂入经工程改造以生产所需化学产品的异养生物中。在本手稿中,我们研究了模型蓝细菌中糖原的产生,
