• Sustainable life support on Mars – the potential roles of cyanobacteria (2015, background): “…engineered cyanobacteria produced it directly from CO2 and solar energy, following a much simpler process where pyruvate is first converted to acetaldehyde by a pyruvate decarboxylase and then to alcohol by an alcohol dehydrogenase (Deng &Coleman 1999; Dalton &Roberto 2008; Dexter & Fu 2009).”
• Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges (2011, background): “Dexter and Fu (2009) successfully transferred the pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase II (adh) genes from Z. mobilis (a prolific ethanol producer) into Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using light-driven psbA2 promoter.”
• Genetic Engineering of Algae for Enhanced Biofuel Production (2010, background): “Most of these come from the manipulation of E. coli, in which the overexpression and deletion of entire metabolic pathways are feasible.”
