Engineered hypermutation adapts cyanobacterial photosynthesis to combined high light and high temperature stress
Abstract
Cyanobacteria mutants with improved tolerance to combined high light and high temperature (HLHT) are rarely reported. Here, the authors use a hypermutation system for adaptive laboratory evolution and identify a mutant with improved HLHT tolerance by enhancing expression of shikimate kinase.
