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
