Promoting Heme and Phycocyanin Biosynthesis in <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 by Overexpression of Porphyrin Pathway Genes with Genetic Engineering

Promoting Heme and Phycocyanin Biosynthesis in <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 by Overexpression of Porphyrin Pathway Genes with Genetic Engineering

Due to their unique biochemical and spectroscopic properties, both heme and phycocyanobilin are widely applied in the medical and food industries. <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 contains both heme and phycocyanin, and is capable of synthesizing phycocyanin using heme as a precursor. T...
