Over years, cyanobacteria have been regarded as ideal model system for studying fundamental biochemical processes like oxygenic photosynthesis, carbon and nitrogen assimilation. They have been also used as human foods, sources for vitamins, proteins, fine chemicals, and bioactive compounds. Additionally, aiming to increase plant productivity as well as nutritional values, cyanobacterial genes involved in carbon metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, and pigment biosynthesis have been intensively exploited as alternatives to homologous gene sources (Park et al.. 2009). Cyanobacterial photosynthesis is currently drawing strong interests among bioenergy society as model organisms for developing ideal oil algae with various characteristics including high light and antibiotic resistance, and inducible oil secretion and flocking, etc (Machado and Atsumi, 2012). In this talk, I’ll introduce on-going researches related to functional genomics approach to the regulation of photosynthesis by means of signal transduction networks to various environmental cues and metabolic engineering to manipulate assimilated carbon partitioning between carbohydrate and lipid in the oxygenic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
