Removal of the product from the culture medium strongly enhances free fatty acid production by genetically engineered Synechococcus elongatus

Abstract Background Cyanobacterial mutants engineered for production of free fatty acids (FFAs) secrete the products to the medium and hence are thought to be useful for biofuel production. The dAS1T mutant constructed from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 has indeed a large capacity of FFA producti...
