Modulation of the major paths of carbon in photorespiratory mutants of synechocystis.

<h4>Background</h4>Recent studies using transcript and metabolite profiles of wild-type and gene deletion mutants revealed that photorespiratory pathways are essential for the growth of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under atmospheric conditions. Pool size changes of primary metabolites, suc...
