Abstract: The present disclosure identifies methods and compositions for modifying photoautotrophic organisms as hosts, such that the organisms efficiently convert carbon dioxide and light into n-alkanes, and in particular the use of such organisms for the commercial production of n-alkanes and related molecules.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for engineering photoautotrophic organisms to convert carbon dioxide and light into fatty acid esters and other molecules, including biofuels. The molecules are then secreted by the organism into a growth medium.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for controlling biosynthetic pathways using a metabolic switch in microorganisms. Photoautotrophs are developed to be auxotrophic for certain exogenous compounds such as lipoic acid and/or a fixed nitrogen source. Depletion of the exogenous compound results in the carbon flux to be diverted to preferred metabolic pathways.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to the functional localization of heterologous integral plasma membrane proteins (HIPMPs) lacking cleavable signal sequences into the plasma membrane (PM) of cyanobacterial hosts, e.g., JCC138 (Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002) or an engineered derivative thereof. More specifically, the disclosure provides chimeric integral plasma membrane proteins comprising pseudo leader sequences (PLSs) that promote increased hydrocarbon (e.g., alkane) export capabilities when expressed in a photosynthetic organism, e.g., a cyanobacterium.
