The Slr0058 Protein From Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Is a Novel Regulatory Protein Involved in PHB Granule Formation

During phases of nitrogen starvation, the photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 produces polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). This polymer is of high biotechnological relevance because of its potential as biodegradable plastic. Analysis of the Synechocystis genome revealed an operon (slr005...
