Production of succinate by engineered strains of Synechocystis PCC 6803 overexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and a glyoxylate shunt

Abstract Background Cyanobacteria are promising hosts for the production of various industrially important compounds such as succinate.This study focuses on introduction of the glyoxylate shunt, which is naturally present in only a few cyanobacteria, into Synechocystis PCC 6803.In order to test its impact on cell metabolism, engineered strains were
