A methylome-guided toolkit for genetic engineering of the fast-growing cyanobacterium UTEX 3222

Cyanobacterium aponinum UTEX 3222 is a fast-growing marine cyanobacterium that reaches high cell densities, making it an attractive chassis strain for low-cost biomanufacturing. However, past efforts to genetically engineer UTEX 3222 have been unsuccessful. We hypothesized that the complex restriction modification syst...
