Disentangling the Effect of Two KO Genes and Increasing Sucrose Production in Cyanobacteria Jaylynn Jones, 3rd year |
Abstract
This semester I will be participating in research at the Ducat lab in the DOE-plant research laboratories. My project will include exploring how cyanobacteria, specifically the stain synechococcous elongatus sp. PCC 7942 balances energy between its source and sink.
I will examine two candidate genes cikA and ltnA which will show an enhancement in photosynthetic productivity when they are mutated in our specific cyanobacterial background
