Transcriptome of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 strains with high light tolerance

Several strains with increased high light tolerance were previously generated by adaptive laboratory evolution from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 WT strain. The high light tolerance in each strain was caused by a few non-synonymous point mutations. Reintroduction of the corresponding point mutation in WT conferred enhanced tolerance to high light.
