High level promoters from cyanobacteria

摘要

The invention relates to the field of microbiology. More specifically, methods are provided for the identification of highly expressed genes and their corresponding promoters and UV responsive genes and their corresponding promoters in cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. These genes and promoters can be used to construct expression vectors in cyanobacteria, green algae or plants, for the production of biomaterials from sunlight, a renewable energy resource.
