Abstract: The present invention is related to the fields of bioplastics. In particular, a strain of photosynthetic cyanobacteria (i.e. blue-green algae) having a high growth rate was engineered to overexpress limonene synthase. These engineered cyanobacteria improve auto-sedimentation for biomass harvest and provide for plastic bioremediation capture. Further, machine-learning methods are provided for improving some of the aspects of cultivating cyanobacteria including, but not limited to, assessing real-time light availability and predicting real-time algae growth rates to increase a cyanobacteria biomass.
