Enhanced Salt Tolerance in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Through Adaptive Evolution: Mechanisms and Applications for Environmental Bioremediation

This study enhances salt tolerance in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 through adaptive evolution, identifying key genes and demonstrating applications for bioremediation of saline environments.

Genome-wide A to G and C to T Mutations Induced by Functional TadA Variants in Escherichia coli

This paper develops a system for inducing A[->]G and C[->]T mutations in E. coli using fusion proteins of DnaG with TadA variants, significantly increasing mutation rates and enabling rapid adaptive evolution.

Expression and characterization of the complete cyanophage genome PP in the heterologous host Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

This study integrates an artificial cyanophage genome into a cyanobacterium, identifies toxic genes, and shows altered metabolic pathways.

Extended toolboxes enable efficient biosynthesis of valuable chemicals directly from CO2 in fast-growing Synechococcus sp. PCC 11901

This study develops genetic toolboxes for Synechococcus sp. PCC 11901 to enhance its use as a carbon-neutral cell factory for producing valuable chemicals from CO2.
