The biotechnology of microalgae has gained considerable importance in recent decades.
Applications range from simple biomass production for food and feed to valuable products …

The small bacterial-type genome of the plastid (chloroplast) can be engineered by genetic
transformation, generating cells and plants with transgenic plastid genomes, also referred to …

Microalgae serve as a promising source for the production of biofuels and bio‐based
chemicals. They are superior to terrestrial plants as feedstock in many aspects and their …

Microalgae comprise a biodiverse group of photosynthetic organisms that reside in water
sources and sediments. The green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was adopted as …

Microalgae constitute a diverse group of eukaryotic unicellular organisms that are of interest
for pure and applied research. Owing to their natural synthesis of value‐added natural …

Expression vectors for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast transformation have been
constructed with transcription and translation signals from chloroplast genes. The bacterial …

Silencing of exogenous DNA can make transgene expression very inefficient. Genetic
screens in the model alga Chlamydomonas have demonstrated that transgene silencing can …

Chloroplasts are ideal hosts for expression of transgenes. Transgene integration into the
chloroplast genome occurs via homologous recombination of flanking sequences used in …

Microalgae are a diverse group of single-cell photosynthetic organisms that include
cyanobacteria and a wide range of eukaryotic algae. A number of microalgae contain high …

Facile methods of genetic transformation are of outstanding importance for both basic and
applied research. For many years, transgenic technologies for plants were restricted to …
