Genetic Engineering for Microalgae Strain Improvement in Relation to Biocrude Production Systems

Abstract: An advanced understanding of the genetics of microalgae and the availability of molecular biology tools are both critical to the development of advanced strains, which offer efficiency advantages for primary production, and more specifically in the context of production for biocrude and renewable energy. Consequently, we outline the current state of the art in microalgal molecular biology including the available genome sequences, molecular techniques and toolkits, amenable strains for transformation of nuclear… Show more

“…Their ancient lineage (1.5-2 billion years since divergence from plants) and ability to colonise a broad range of ecological niches have led to the evolution of an estimated 350,000 species [1] and possibly more, providing a valuable genetic resource for breeding and genetic engineering. While to date, research has focussed on a limited number of production strains, rapid advances are being made in algae bio-prospecting [3,6,15,28,37], species purification [15], cryo-preservation [2] and genetic engineering [26,27,32]. However, given the diversity of microalgae, their specific production conditions must be individually optimised before their potential and handling requirements can be fully assessed.…”
