The genome sequence of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 substrain GT‐T and its implications for the evolution of PCC 6803 substrains
Open accessAbstract
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is a model cyanobacterium, glucose-tolerant substrains of which are commonly used as laboratory strains. In recent years, it has become evident that 'wild-type' strains used in different laboratories show some differences in their phenotypes. We report here the chromosome sequence of our Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 substrain, named substrain GT-T. The chromosome sequence of GT-T was compared to those of two other commonly used laboratory substrains, GT-S and PCC-M. We identified 11 specific mutations in the GT-T substrain, whose physiological consequences are discussed. We also provide an update on evolutionary relationships between different Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 substrains.

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is widely utilised due to its natural competence and high amenability to genetic manipulation, whereas Synechococcus species are often preferred for their relatively rapid growth rates and well-characterised physiology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
