Background
We intend to use Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii as a simple model to represent higher order systems.
There are many reasons why one would want to chose Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii:
- Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular alga which is a relatively well established model organism and many techniques can be readily transferred to higher plants.
- It is registered as safe to humans so there is a lot of interest in developing edible vaccines and other foodstuffs.
- Fast growing
- Very efficient homologous recombination in chloroplast
