Impairing photorespiration increases photosynthetic conversion of CO2 to isoprene in engineered cyanobacteria

Abstract Photorespiration consumes fixed carbon and energy generated from photosynthesis to recycle glycolate and dissipate excess energy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether we can use the energy that is otherwise consumed by photorespiration to improve the production of chemicals whic...
