Method for enabling nonmicrocystin-producing microalgae to produce microcystin and microcystin-producing microalgae obtained

Abstract

This invention provides, for the first time, a method for producing microcystin by nonmicrocystin-producing microalgae and a microcystin-producing strain obtained thereby. This is the first report in the art to engineer nonmicrocystin-producing microalgae into microcystin-producing microalgae. We have realized synthesizing microcystin from inorganic substances by biosynthesis. Although the microcystin content produced by the obtained strain is low, it is still a great advance, and we will carry out subsequent research to increase the production of microcystin.
