Cyanobacteria are a compelling biochemical production platform for their ability to propagate using light and atmospheric CO 2 via photosynthesis. However, the engineering of strains is hampered by limited understanding of photosynthesis under diverse environmental conditions such as high-light and low-temperature stresses.

Upon exposure of photosynthetic organisms to high light (HL), several HL acclimation responses are triggered. Herein, we identified a novel gene, slr0320, critical for HL acclimation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The growth rate of the Δslr0320 mutant was similar to wild type (WT) under normal light (NL) but severely declined under HL. Net photosynthesis of the mutant was lower under HL, but maximum photosystem II (PSII) activity was higher under NL and HL. Immunodetection revealed the accumulation and assembly of PSII were similar between WT and the mutant. Chlorophyll fluorescence traces showed the stable fluorescence of the mutant under light was much higher. Kinetics of single flash‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence increase and decay revealed the slower electron transfer from QA to QB in the mutant. These data indicate that, in the Δslr0320 mutant, the number of functional PSIIs was comparable to WT even under HL but the electron transfer between QA and QB was inefficient. Quantitative proteomics and real‐time PCR revealed that expression profiles of psbL, psbH and psbI were significantly altered in the Δslr0320 mutant. Thus, Slr0320 protein plays critical roles in optimizing PSII activity during HL acclimation and is essential for PSII electron transfer from QA to QB.

When cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 are exposed to a low temperature, genes for fatty acid desaturases are expressed with resultant increases in the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids in membrane lipids. However, the sensor and transducers of low-temperature signals had not yet been identified. In order to identify these components we applied to the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 the systematic disruption of all 43 putative genes for histidine kinases and random mutagenesis of the whole genome in conjunction with screening by the transcriptional activity of the promoter of the desB gene for the ω 3 desaturase. This allowed us to identify two histidine kinases and a response regulator as components of the perception and transduction of low-temperature signals for the expression of genes for fatty acid desaturases.
