Efficient Cas9-based genome editing of Rhodobacter sphaeroides for metabolic engineering

Abstract Background Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a metabolically versatile bacterium that serves as a model for analysis of photosynthesis, hydrogen production and terpene biosynthesis. The elimination of by-products formation, such as poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), has been an important metabolic engi...
