Multilevel engineering of cyanobacterial energy metabolism advances photosynthetic hydrogen production while revealing its constraints

This study enhances cyanobacterial photosynthetic hydrogen production by addressing multiple metabolic constraints, achieving higher yields but also revealing trade-offs with metabolic stability.

When a chaotropic agent turns into a nutrient: Deciphering the assimilation of guanidine and its utilization to drive synthetic processes in cyanobacteria

This paper shows cyanobacteria can use guanidine as a nitrogen source, regulated by NtcA and a riboswitch, enabling precise gene control for synthetic biology.
