Identification of alcohol stress tolerance genes of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using adaptive laboratory evolution

Abstract Background Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is an attractive organism for the production of alcohols, such as isobutanol and ethanol. However, because stress against the produced alcohol is a major barrier for industrial applications, it is highly desirable to engineer organisms with strong alcoh...
