Enhancement of photosynthetic isobutanol production in engineered cells of Synechocystis PCC 6803

Abstract Background Cyanobacteria, oxygenic photoautotrophic prokaryotes, can be engineered to produce various valuable chemicals from solar energy and CO2 in direct processes. The concept of photosynthetic production of isobutanol, a promising chemical and drop-in biofuel, has so far been demonstra...
