Fastest.

Phototrophic.

Organism.

We established the fastest growing phototrophic organism, with a doubling time of 90min, as a chassis for synthetic biology and iGEM community.

We created an easy to use toolbox for Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 for rapid design testing, including genome engineering, replicating plasmid systems, natural competence and a golden gate based part library.
By providing our fast phototrophic chassis to the community, we would like to pave the way for other phototrophic organisms in synthetic biology.
