Cyanobacteria have the potential to become next-generation cell factories due to their ability to use CO, light and inorganic nutrients to produce a range of biomolecules of commercial interest. UTEX 2973, in particular, is a fast-growing, genetically tractable, cyanobacterium that has garnered attention as a potential biotechnological chassis. To establish this unique strain as a host for heterologous protein production, we aimed to demonstrate expression and secretion of the industrially relevant AA10A, a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from the Gram-positive bacterium
