Claim 0:
1. A method for the production of autotrophic microorganisms with altered photorespiration comprising introducing into an autotrophic microorganism expressing (i) phosphoglycolate phosphatase activity one or more nucleic acids encoding polypeptides having the enzymatic activities of:
(ii) glyoxylate reductase,
(iii) erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate aldolase belonging to the EC class 4.1.3.14,
(iv) erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase belonging to the EC class 4.3.1.20,
(v) iminosuccinate reductase and
(vi) aspartate-glyoxylate transaminase, wherein the introduction of the one or more nucleic acids results in an altered autotrophic microorgansim having de novo expression of polypeptides having the enzymatic activities of
(ii) glyoxylate reductase,
(iii) erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate aldolase belonging to the EC class 4.1.3.14,
(iv) erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase belonging to the EC class 4.3.1.20,
(v) iminosuccinate reductase, and
(vi) aspartate-glyoxylate transaminase.
