This paper engineers the PirC-PGAM switch in cyanobacteria to redirect carbon flux toward desired products like sucrose and succinate, demonstrating a tunable control point for metabolic engineering.

This paper shows that integrating a genetically engineered cyanobacterium into a natural microbial community improves its resilience and PHB production, making it suitable for industrial bioplastic production.

This paper identifies structural elements in cyanobacterial iPGAM that mediate regulation by PirC, showing how deletions affect enzyme activity and carbon flux, with implications for biotechnological applications.

This paper develops a genetically engineered filamentous cyanobacterium that continuously produces PHB without nitrogen starvation, maintaining cell viability for sustainable industrial production.
