Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A long-term laboratory evolution experiment was attempted to challenge the proposition that mesophylic cyanobacteria can adapt to high temperatures beyond their growth limit temperatures. Previous studies had succeeded in obtaining a line of strains that had grown well above the temperature limit of the strain. Electron microscopic analysis confirmed structural changes in the cells. We were also able to identify trade-offs in the temperature range at which the line could grow compared to the parental line. To confirm reproducibility, we have constracted two new lines, but these lines had different mutations from the existing lines.
