Mutants of Nostoc sp. PCC 7120

Lifeasible is a global leading biotechnology company specializing in gene editing technology. With the advanced and mature RecoNace™ platform, we provide markerless mutant strains of cyanobacteria by site-specific recombinases system.

Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 is a model cyanobacteria commonly used to study cell differentiation and nitrogen metabolism. It’s capable of fixing nitrogen by forming heterocysts, which are differentiated cells that efficiently catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen, or be exploited for hydrogen production. The complete genome of Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 comprises a circular chromosome and six plasmids.

Nostoc are heterocyst-forming, photoautotrophic cyanobacteria that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. They can be found in various of habitats, both terrestrial and aquatic. And they can survive in stressful conditions such as fluctuating temperatures, drought, salt stress, desiccation, UV radiation, and so on.

Due to their ability of nitrogen fixation and tolerance to stressful conditions, Nostoc are employed as host to produce compounds of used, such as those with anticancer, antiviral and antibacterial bioactivity, which are identified as peptides, fatty acid, alkaloids, and terpenoids. They have great potential to be the base of novel biopharmaceuticals. What’s more, Nostoc is considered as ideal candidate for extraterrestrial agriculture, which is the up-to-the-moment topic in recent years.

With our pre-made Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 mutants, you can start study of interest as soon as possible. If you need customized mutant, please feel free to contact us.
