  • Cyanobacteria having improved photosynthetic activity
    Patent number: 11279912
    Abstract: This disclosure describes modified photosynthetic microorganisms, including Cyanobacteria, that have a reduced amount of a light harvesting protein (LHP) and contain one or more introduced or overexpressed polynucleotides encoding one or more enzymes associated with lipid biosynthesis, and which are capable of producing increased amounts of fatty acids and/or synthesizing triglycerides.
    Type: Grant

  • Microorganisms with broadened light absorption capability and increased photosynthetic activity
    Patent number: 10787488
    Abstract: Photosynthetic microorganisms with broadened light absorption capability and increased photosynthetic activity are described. Broadened light absorption is achieved by modifying the microorganism to utilize non-native bilins. Increased photosynthetic activity results from the broadened light absorption and can also result from a decrease in self-shading. The microorganisms include Cyanobacteria, including modified Cyanobacteria.
