Methods and Materials

Cyanobacterial cultures: we used wild type strains of Anabaena PCC7120, Synechocystis PCC6803, Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133, and Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, all courtesy of James Golden. These were raised at 30˚C with shaking at 121rpm and ~40µEinsteins of light in liquid BG11 media¹.
