Abstract

This disclosure describes modified photosynthetic microorganisms, including Cyanobacteria, that have a reduced amount of a light harvesting protein (LHP) and contain one or more introduced or overexpressed polynucleotides encoding one or more enzymes associated with lipid biosynthesis, and which are capable of producing increased amounts of fatty acids and/or synthesizing triglycerides.
