Figure 1 : Replacement of neutral site with gene of interest (GOI): Target gene gets inserted in the place of neutral sites by homologous recombination process.
Figure 2 : Biosynthetic pathway of different fuel molecules in cyanobacteria; Methyl erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway is used for various terpenoid synthesis in cyanobacteria (Prokaryotes) whereas mevalonic acid pathway (MVA) is used in eukaryotes and archaebacteria for terpenoid synthesis.
