The richness of bioactive compounds in microalgae has long inspired their exploitation for
human nutrition. However, very few species are authorized for this use to date. Microalgae of …

Within plastid-bearing species, the mutation rate of the plastid genome is often assumed to
be greater than that of the mitochondrial genome. This assumption is based on early …

Background Microalgae are considered promising alternative energy sources because they
consume CO 2 and accumulate large amounts of lipids that can be used as biofuel …

Background Genetic engineering of microalgae is necessary to produce economically
feasible strains for biofuel production. Current efforts are focused on the manipulation of …
