Abstract: This disclosure provides a method to improve lysine and methionine content of algae and cyanobacteria through genetic modification in combination with modified expression of high lysine and methionine proteins as sinks for the amino acids. The method of this disclosure is specifically useful in animal feed production.
Abstract: Genetic mechanisms for mitigating the effects of introgression of a genetically engineered genetic trait of cultivated algae or cyanobacteria to its wild type or to an undesirable, interbreeding related species. as well as preventing the establishment of the transgenic algae or cyanobacteria in natural ecosystems.
