OCEANUS SEMINAR SERIES | Eunice Ferreira | 2 NOV | 11:30

 

Title: Turning the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 into an on-demand biotechnology factory

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was the first photosynthetic organism to have its genome sequenced, rapidly becoming a model cyanobacterium. The seminar will highlight that the development of molecular tools and customized chassis is relevant to make this organism a sustainable platform to produce value-added compounds, such as compatible solutes.
