OUR MOTIVATION...

I. Microalgal chlroplasts as an alternative expression system

Chloroplasts hold a massive potential as an alternative protein expression system, due to their outstanding expression yields, diversity of post-translational modifications and auto/mixotrophic lifestyles of plants and microalgae.

Various proteins have already been successfully expressed in chloroplasts, including:

  • monoclonal antibodies
  • antigens
  • anti-toxins
  • growth factors
