TL;DR: This review summarizes the molecular knowledge about cyanobacterial hupSL and hoxFUYH, their corresponding gene products, and their accessory genes before finishing with an applied aspect—the use of cyanobacteria in a biological, renewable production of the future energy carrier molecular hydrogen.

TL;DR: The present paper deals with the photobioreactors of different geometry available for biomass production and focuses on the hybrid types of reactors (integrating two reactors) which can be used for overcoming the bottlenecks of a single Photobioreactor.

TL;DR: This Account describes the original approach to combine research in these two fields: mimicking structural and functional principles of both Photosystem II and hydrogenases by synthetic chemistry and engineering cyanobacteria to become better hydrogen producers and ultimately developing new routes toward synthetic biology.

TL;DR: In cyanobacteria, the genes that are thought to affect hydrogenases pleiotropically (hyp), as well as the genes presumably encoding the hydrogenase-specific endopeptidases (hupW and hoxW) have been identified and characterized, and NtcA and LexA have been implicated in the transcriptional regulation of the uptake and the bidirectional enzyme respectively.

TL;DR: The pPMQAK1 shuttle vector allows the use of the growing numbers of BioBrick parts in many prokaryotes, and the other tools herein implemented facilitate the development of new parts and systems in cyanobacteria.
