Fastest.

Phototrophic.

Organism.

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

We created an easy to use toolbox for Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 to empower rapid design testing, including genome engineering tools, self-replicating plasmid systems, natural competence and a Golden Gate-based part library. By providing our fast phototrophic chassis to the community, we are paving the way for other phototrophic organisms in synthetic biology.
