CYANOBACTERIA THAT PRODUCE LIPID PACKAGING PROTEINS

摘要

This disclosure describes genetically modified photosynthetic microorganisms, including Cyanobacteria, that contain one or more exogenous genes encoding a diacyglycerol acyltransferase and at least one exogenous polynucleotide encoding at least one lipid packaging protein, and which are capable of producing increased amounts of fatty acids and/or synthesizing triglycerides.
