Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the following professors for their feedback to our project: Francisco Melo (Bioinformatics), Eduardo Agosín (Metabolic Engineering), Loreto Valenzuela (Biomaterials) and Ignacio Vargas (Environmental Biotechnology). We would also like to give special thanks to Mónica Vásquez and her lab (Biological Sciences) for providing us with our beloved Synechocystis cells and advice!
It is impossible to express the amount of gratitute that really all the people that were involved in the realization of the project deserve. Your counsel, moral support, financing, help in many different ways were fundamental for the realization of the project... Eternal thanks.
