A genetically enhanced cyanobacterial host cell,sp. ABICyanoI, is disclosed. The enhancedsp. ABICyanoI produces a compound or compounds of interest.

[object Object]

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a genetically enhanced cyanobacterium for the production of a first chemical compound, comprising at least one first recombinant gene encoding a first biocatalyst for the production of the first chemical compound, wherein the gene is under the transcriptional control of a Coor Zn-inducible promoter. Such a cyanobacterium can provide a tighter control of the production of the first chemical compound.

A plasmid vector for the production of compounds in cyanobacteria is described which is capable of being efficiently transformed to and replicating in a broad range of cyanobacterial species.

Shuttle vector capable of transforming multiple genera of cyanobacteria

A cyanobacterial host cell,sp., that harbors at least one recombinant gene for the production of a chemical compounds is provided, as well as vectors derived from an endogenous plasmid isolated from the cell.

A genetically enhanced cyanobacterial host cell,sp. ABICyano1, is disclosed. The enhancedsp. ABICyano1 produces a compound or compounds of interest.
