Algal Expression Platform

With the rapid development of genetic engineering technology, the technology of using microalgae to express foreign proteins has been widely considered. As a "living cell bioreactor", microalgae can meet the needs of aquaculture, biodiesel, medical protein, health products, feed and functional food by genetic engineering. Therefore, the genetic engineering of microalgae has attracted the attention of scientists and technicians.

Features of Algal Expression System

Compared with the bacterial expression system, microalgae can complete complex protein folding to form active proteins.
Compared with the yeast expression system, microalgae can carry out glycosylation to meet people's specific needs of antigen and antibody;
Compared with transgenic plants, microalgae have shorter culture cycle and less restriction by external environment such as season;
Compared with animal cell culture, microalgae have lower production cost (protein) and large-scale cultivation can be achieved.
In addition, microalgae-derived proteins are biocompatible and can be directly consumed by animals without purification, which greatly reduces the cost of purification and recovery.

Overview of Creative BioMart's Yeast Protein Expression Platform

After years of development, Creative BioMart has established a complete algal expression technology platform. Currently, we are able to offer our clients the expression services based on four algal species.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is the most mature expression system in eukaryotic microalgae. Genetically engineered Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been used to produce various medicinal proteins

Synechococcus elongatus

Synechococcus elongatus is a kind of single-celled cyanobacteria with rapid autotrophic growth similar to yeast. Its ability to grow rapidly under the sun has an impact on the application of biotechnology, especially in the integration of gene modification.

Schizochytrium sp

Marine microalga Schizochytrium sp is an attractive species that can heterotrophically grow in seawater rather than depend on photobioreactor.

Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a kind of diatom emerging in the field of biotechnology, which can be used in a variety of applications, such as biofuel precursor and recombinant protein production.
