Pakrasi Lab discovers a fast growing cyanobacterial strain

Pakrasi Lab discovered a fast growing cyanobacterial strain and showed that the genome of the new strain can be easily manipulated, a characteristic essential to its use as a host for projects in synthetic biology.

“Cyanobacteria have the potential to be the ideal biofactories for sustainable carbon negative production of numerous compounds,” Pakrasi said. “This fast-growing strain should help to realize that dream
