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.

Cyanobacteria having improved photosynthetic activity

Microorganisms with increased photosynthetic capacity are described. Increased photosynthetic capacity is achieved by down-regulating activity of the RpaB pathway. The microorganisms include Cyanobacteria, including genetically-modified Cyanobacteria.
