Installation of the sucrose degradation pathway. (A) Schematic representation of integration of the the sucrose degradation pathway into the S. elongatus chromosome. (B) Synthetic sucrose degradation pathway in S. elongatus. Red arrows indicate steps catalyzed by heterologous enzymes. PPP, pentose phosphate pathway. (C) Growth curves of the cscB-cscK strain (red) and the wild type (blue). Empty and filled symbols indicate growth without and with 5 g/liter sucrose, respectively. White and shaded areas indicate light and dark cycles, respectively. Error bars represent standard deviations (in triplicate).
