Exclusively, deletion of KDPG aldolase delays growth under mixotrophic conditions in continuous light and autotrophic conditions in a day/night cycle. Growth of Synechocystis WT and single mutants, in which different key enzymes of glycolytic routes were deleted, as indicated in the simplified schemes: EMP pathway in red, OPP pathway in blue, and ED pathway in green. Crosses indicate deleted genes. (A) Cultures grown under autotrophic and mixotrophic (+g) conditions in continuous light. (B) Cultures grown under autotrophic conditions in day/night cycle (d/n). Error bars represent the SD from three independent cultures, each measured in triplicate. Each growth experiment was repeated independently at least three times to ensure reproducibility. In the graph, the data of one growth experiment is shown.
