Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biochemistry, specifically to the bioproduction of glycolate. Host cells, especially cyanobacteria of the genus Synechocystis, are modified in several ways to increase extracellular glycolate, including: mutant Rubisco enzymes, overexpression of phosphoribulokinase (PRK) or phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP), a permease to export glycolate, like GIcA, or by reduction of the capacity to metabolize glycolate due to reduced or eliminated glycolate dehydrogenase, glycolate oxidase activity and/or lactate dehydrogenase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing erythritol and to a cyanobacterial cell for the production of erythritol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing erythritol and to a cyanobacterial cell for the production of erythritol.

Abstract: A process of producing an organic compound and/or an intermediary compound by feeding carbon dioxide to a culture of Cyanobacteria cells and subjecting the culture to light, wherein the cells are capable of expressing a nucleic acid molecule that confers the ability to convert a glycolytic intermediate into said organic/intermediary compound. The expression of the nucleic acid molecule is under the control of a regulatory system which responds to a change in the concentration of a nutrient in the culture.
