GeneArt® Algae Expression and Engineering Kits by Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 137c and Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 are model algal organisms for the study of photosynthesis, plant biology, lipid metabolism, and more. They also serve as bioproduction platforms for biofuels, nutraceuticals, and specialty chemicals.

GeneArt® kits for algae are optimized for high levels of protein expression with dual protein tags for detection and purification as well as selection against gene silencing often seen in Chlamydomonas.


GeneArt® Algae Expression and Engineering Kits Features:

• Express up to 10% total soluble protein of your gene of interest
• Select against gene silencing in Chlamydomonas, even over multiple passages
• Detect and purify your gene of interest with 6His TEV and/or V5-His epitope tags
• Preserve Chlamydomonas and Chlorella strains and clones for –80°C storage
• Eliminate liquid nitrogen storage
• Avoid contamination and genetic drift that typically occur in continuous cultures
• Obtain ≥100-fold increase in transformation efficiencies with Chlamydomonas strains
