Algae include a large and diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms, including unicellular microalgae and multicellular algae. Compared with plants, gene editing of chloroplast is easier to apply in algae.

Lifeasible offers gene editing services in chloroplasts of algae. Our scientists established mature chloroplast genome editing system based on recombinases system, with which, customers can receive satisfying results on time.

Overview of Algae

Algae is an informal term of a large quantity of photosynthetic organisms from multiple distinct clades, which covers from unicellular microalgae to multicellular algae. Species of algae don't seem to evolute from the same ancestor, but their plasmids share single origin, cyanobacteria.

Applications of Algae

Because of the diversity of algae and their features of metabolism, they are increasingly utilized in different applications including industry, agriculture, medicine, environment conservation and many other areas.

Agar and alginates are extracted from algae, which can be used as gelling agents and medical dressings. Besides, algae-based fuels have great potential to support human society sustainably and economically. As well as the great applications in agriculture as fertilizers, soil conditioners, and livestock feed.

Gene Editing in Algae

On account of ever-increasing global population, there is large demands of sustainable and economical support in productivity. There are much more advantages of algae chloroplast as a gene editing testbed, including easily manipulated, easily cultivated and high-level expression.

As the site of photosynthesis, chloroplast is a key player in many metabolic pathways, including the production of fatty acid, protein and starch. Gene editing technology in algae chloroplast allows researchers to launch the functional studies of genes by knocking out genes. The availability of mutants, as well as the simple life cycle, makes algae becoming an important model organism of molecular-genetic research.
