A cotransformation system of the unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae with blasticidin S deaminase and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase selectable markers

Takayuki Fujiwara et al.

Summary: The unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae has a simple cellular and genomic architecture. A new nuclear targeting and transformant selection system using the antibiotic blasticidin S (BS) and the BS deaminase (BSD) selectable marker has been developed in C. merolae. This system enables simultaneous modification of two different chromosomal loci in the same strain, expanding the genetic modification capabilities of this alga.

Photosynthesis of the Cyanidioschyzon merolae cells in blue, red, and white light

Eugeniusz Parys et al.

Summary: The study measured the photosynthesis and respiration rates of Cyanidioschizon merolae grown in different light qualities, showing that blue light significantly reduces photosynthesis rates while red light has a smaller impact. Blue light enhances respiration rate, while red light promotes the accumulation of chlorophyll a, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene.

Gene Delivery Technologies with Applications in Microalgal Genetic Engineering

Sergio Gutierrez et al.

Summary: Microalgae and cyanobacteria are considered promising microbes for sustainable production of high-value metabolites using carbon dioxide and sunlight. Genetic engineering concepts have started to emerge, but face challenges in DNA delivery and expression in these hosts. Different DNA delivery methods are being explored for potential applications in engineering photosynthetic microbes.
