Transformation of Cyanobacteria

摘要: Cyanobacteria are a diverse and successful group of bacteria defined by their ability to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis. They occupy ecological niches important primary producers in the oceans. amenable genetic manipulation. Some strains naturally transformable. Many others have been transformed lab conjugation or electroporation. The transform cyanobacteria has determinant development molecular biology these organisms basis many biotechnological applications. source natural products toxins potential use can be engineered synthesize substances interest. Their high protein vitamin content makes them useful as dietary supplement. Because niches, they used deliver medium interest biosensors.
