Title Transformation of the Model Microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Without Cell-Wall Removal.
Journal Methods Mol Biol
Abstract The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been widely used to study many biological processes, including photosynthesis, flagellar motility, sexual reproduction, metabolism, and genetics. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol of rapid and efficient transformation method for wild type cell-walled Chlamydomonas strains without cell-wall removal using a square electric pulses-generating electroporator. This method could be applied to the transformation of other industrially useful algae including diatom by optimizing the electric conditions.
