<h4>Background</h4><i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 is an attractive organism for the production of alcohols, such as isobutanol and ethanol. However, because stress against the produced alcohol is a major barrier for industrial applications, it is highly desirable to engineer organisms with strong alcohol tolerance.<h4>Results</h4>Isobutanol-tolerant strains of <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 were obtained by long-term passage culture experiments using medium containing 2 g/L isobutanol. The ...[more]
