| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acaryochloris marina can utilize far-red light for photosynthesis, whereas most other oxygenic photosynthetic organisms cannot use the light. In this project, we aimed to develop the genome editing techniques for A. marina to elucidate the adaptation mechanism of the organism to far-red light by reverse genetic studies. In the result of this study, we succeeded in developing genome editing system for A. marina. In addition, we also succeeded in producing light-harvesting protein knockdown mutants by CRISPR interference, a technique for the repression of gene expression.
