The photosynthetic cyanobacteria are promising candidates for the sustainable production of a plethora of plant secondary metabolites, which are beneficial to human health but are difficult to produce and purify in other systems. This chapter focuses on genetic engineering of Synechocystis PCC 6803 for production of p-coumaric acid and its derivatives. Cyanobacterial engineering approaches are briefly reviewed. Strategies to increase production yield are discussed, including codon optimization of genes expressing enzymatic proteins and a laccase-coding gene knockout from Synechocystis genome which degrades polyphenols.
