A green light for engineered algae: redirecting metabolism to fuel a biotechnology revolution

TL;DR: Genetic improvement and modifications are essential to construct superior microalgae for manufacturing industries using various methods such as selection of novel strain, stress tolerance, resistance to pathogens, product development and metabolic pathways and cellular contents.

TL;DR: In this article , the HDR CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knock-in system was applied to accurately insert an optimized foreign bacterial phytase gene at a specific site of the nitrate reductase (NR) gene (exon 2) to achieve homologous recombination with the stability of the transgene and reduce insertion site effects or gene silencing.

TL;DR: In this article, a mecanisme d'autofloculation, avec precipitation de Mg(OH)2, is proposed to expliquer the floculation par balayage de D. salina.

TL;DR: The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine, while future research should focus on the improvement of production systems and the genetic modification of strains.

TL;DR: The biotechnology of microalgae has gained considerable importance in recent decades and this group of organisms represents one of the most promising sources for new products and applications.

TL;DR: The Aquatic Species Program (ASP) as mentioned in this paper was a relatively small research effort intended to look at the use of aquatic plants as sources of energy, with an emphasis on algae for biodiesel production.

TL;DR: In this article, the main groups of algae (divisions or phyla) are considered in turn, and the final chapter is a synthesis, in which the phylogeny of the algae is discussed in relation to the evolution of other living organisms.
