Abstract:
A recombinant strain of F. diplosiphon was made by transforming wild type F. diplosiphon with a pGEM-7Zf (+) plasmid containing sterol desaturase gene (SD) via electroporation. The recombinant strain was designated B481-SD and overexpressed the sterol desaturase gene to result in enhanced lipid production. Selection made on NaCl enabled growth of the transformant to thrive up to 50 g L−1 NaCl. This strain was designated B481-SDH.
