The transcriptional regulator RbcR controls ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) genes in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

What is it about?

Cyanobacteria have a huge environmental impact and are regarded as promising for a sustainable production of chemicals and fuels from CO2 in the future. Here we characterized a regulatory protein that controls the synthesis of the key enzyme for CO2 fixation. Accordingly, our data will help to make this process and cyanobacteria amenable for biotechnological applications.
