Cyanobacterial circadian regulation enhances bioproduction under subjective nighttime through rewiring of carbon partitioning dynamics, redox balance orchestration, and cell cycle modulation

Description

This study investigates how circadian clock regulation impacts carbon partitioning between storage, growth, and product synthesis in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 in providing insights for potential strategies for enhanced bioproduction. In our analysis we explore circadian regulatory rewiring of carbon metabolism and redox balancing and identify two potential approaches enabling better temporal separation between cell growth, carbon storage accumulation, and product synthesis phases.
