Abstract

sp. PCC 7120, and emerging hosts. Advances in BGC cloning, combinatorial biosynthesis, transcriptional and translational regulation, and host engineering are also highlighted. Together, these synthetic biology developments provide a powerful framework for expanding cyanobacterial natural product discovery and production.
