Abstract

Deletion of pathways for carbon-storage in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 has been suggested as a strategy to increase the size of the available pyruvate pool for the production of (heterologous) chemical commodities. Here we show that deletion of the pathway for glycogen synthesis leads to a twofold increased lactate production rate, under nitrogen-limited conditions, whereas impairment of polyhydroxybutyrate synthesis does not.
