The wastewater discharge from the intensive shrimp aquaculture contains high concentration of nutrients, which can lead to eutrophication. This study aimed to reuse the shrimp wastewater for low cost cyanobacterial cultivation to produce biodegradable plastic poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). The <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803 (ΔSphU) lacking phosphate regulator (SphU) could utilize nutrients in shrimp wastewater for promoting biomass yield of 500 mg L<sup>-1</sup> after 14 days. The ΔSphU showed ...[more]
