Title: Decreased light-harvesting antenna size in cyanobacteria

Abstract

The invention provides methods and compositions for increasing photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production in cyanobacterial cultures by minimizing the phycobilisome light-harvesting antenna size through disruption of the phycocyanin-encoding CPC-operon.
