  • Genetic control of cell size
    Patent number: 10590426
    Abstract: Described herein are mutant cyanobacterial cell populations that have a smaller mean cell length than wild type cyanobacterial cell populations of the same species.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020
    Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University
