Application

Application Comment Organism
biotechnology lethal expression of bacterial toxin-antitoxin system toxins in eukaryotic microalgae, which can form the basis of a novel method for harvesting of microalgal cellular contents. Chlorella vulgaris is a eukaryotic microalga with potential for the production of biofuels. Its thick and rigid cell wall is an impediment to cost-effective, large-scale harvesting of biofuels from these cells Streptococcus pneumoniae

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene pezT, recombinant expression of GFP-tagged enzyme in the eukaryotic microalga Chlorella vulgaris strain UMT-M1, Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404-mediated co-transformation with recombinant activator and responder vectors, is lethal. Following induction by 17-beta-estradiol for the expression of the toxin-GFP fusion transgenes, algal cells show signs of cellular damage and lysis.
