Cloning and expression of Zymobacter palmae pyruvate decarboxylase for enhanced ethanol production in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Quinn, Lorraine (University of Limerick, 2017)

Recently, photoautotrophic cyanobacteria have gained much attention due to their ability to convert carbon dioxide using light energy into carbon metabolites, some with potential biofuel applications. This is significant ...
Functional genomic analysis of the UV-inducible ‘cytotoxic’ gene from the ICE R391, an archetypal member of the SXT/R391 family of integrative conjugative elements

Armshaw, Patricia (University of Limerick, 2012)

The enterobacterial mobile element, R391, is a prototype member of the SXT/R391 family of Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICEs). SXT/R391-like ICEs are sitespecific genome-integrating mobile elements, frequently isolated ...
Introducing extra bicarbonate transporters bicA and sbtA in the cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for enhanced ethanol production

O'Riordan, Helen (University of Limerick, 2018)

The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a model organism for genetic manipulation. Utilising genetically engineered cyanobacteria to produce ethanol offers significant potential as a renewable and sustainable ...
