Strong heterologous electron sink outcompetes alternative electron transport pathways in photosynthesis

M. Hubacek, L. T. Wey, R. Kourist, L. Malihan-Yap, L. Nikkanen, Y. Allahverdiyeva

The paper demonstrates that a heterologous electron sink outcompetes natural electron transport pathways in engineered cyanobacteria, revealing FNR as the preferred route for electron delivery and highlighting the NADPH/NADP+ ratio's role in electron flux.

Fourfold increase in photocurrent generation of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by exopolysaccharide deprivation

L. T. Wey, E. Wroe, V. Sadilek, L. Shang, X. Chen, J. Zhang, C. J. Howe

This study shows that reducing exopolysaccharide production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 increases photocurrent by fourfold, suggesting indirect extracellular electron transfer via a diffusible mediator.

Optoelectronic enhancement of photocurrent by cyanobacteria on sustainable AP-VPP-fabricated PEDOT electrodes

L. T. Wey, R. Yewale, E. Hautala, J. Hannonen, K. Katavisto, C. Kvarnstrom, Y. Allahverdiyeva, P. Damlin

This paper demonstrates that AP-VPP-PEDOT electrodes can interface with cyanobacteria to generate photocurrent under blue light and applied potentials, achieving up to 2.73 μA cm-2 with an exogenous electron mediator.

A biophotoelectrochemical approach to unravelling the role of cyanobacterial cell structures in exoelectrogenesis

L. T. Wey, J. M. Lawrence, X. Chen, R. Clark, D. J. Lea-Smith, J. Z. Zhang, C. J. Howe

This study uses photoelectrochemistry to investigate electron transfer pathways in cyanobacteria, showing the periplasmic space's role in exoelectrogenesis and the contribution of type IV pili to electrode adherence.

Structural basis for the allosteric regulation of the SbtA bicarbonate transporter by the PII-like protein, SbtB, from Cyanobium sp. PCC7001

J. A. Kaczmarski, N. Hong, B. Mukherjee, L. T. Wey, L. Rourke, B. Forster, T. S. Peat, G. D. Price, C. J. Jackson

This paper investigates how the PII-like protein SbtB regulates the bicarbonate transporter SbtA in Cyanobium sp. PCC7001 through allosteric interactions involving nucleotides and calcium.
