Abstract
Glycolaldehyde (GA) is widely used as a photosynthetic inhibitor to suppress metabolic reactions. We aimed to evaluate the effects of GA on the growth of and metabolic flux distribution in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. GA significantly inhibited the growth (IC50 = 244 μM) and metabolic flux through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle without decreasing in flux of pentose phosphate pathway.
