A Ubiquitously Conserved Cyanobacterial Protein Phosphatase Essential for High Light Tolerance in a Fast-Growing Cyanobacterium

Journal Article · · Microbiology Spectrum

Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. The cyanobacterium Synechococcus 2973 is a high light tolerant strain with industrial promise due to its fast growth under high light conditions and the availability of genetic modification tools.
