Figure 1 : Replacement of neutral site with gene of interest
(GOI): Target gene gets inserted in the place of neutral sites by
homologous recombination process.
Figure 2 : Biosynthetic pathway of different fuel molecules in
cyanobacteria; Methyl erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway is used for
various terpenoid synthesis in cyanobacteria (Prokaryotes) whereas
mevalonic acid pathway (MVA) is used in eukaryotes and archaebacteria
for terpenoid synthesis. Abbreviations used: G3P- Glyceraldehyde
