construction of a series of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 mutants lacking enzymes of TCAC shunt, GABA synthesis and polyamine degradation pathway, i.e. DELTAkgd, DELTAgad:DELTAkgd and DELTAgabdh encoding glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate decarboxylases, respectively. Subcloning in Escherichia coli strain DH5alpha. The level of chl a content is significantly decreased in both DELTAgabdh and DELTAgad:DELTAkgd strains as compared to that in the wild-type. Similarly, lower O2 evolution rate is observed in both mutants signifying a decline in photosynthetic efficiency, phenotype, overview. The mutant strain with disrupted gene gabdh shows an increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, succinate, and spermidine levels, while the DELTAgad:DELTAkgd strain shows upregulated expression of gene gadbh |
