Project

The primary goal of this project is to aid CO2-capturing efforts by developing a chemically inducible gene expression system for the photosynthesizing cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, and using it to increase the rate of carbon fixation in the bacterium.

This basic platform could then be used to offset CO2 emissions at a higher rate than the naturally occurring organism.
