  • Red microalgae expressing exogenous polypeptides and methods of generating and utilizing same
    Patent number: 8936930
    Abstract: A method of transforming red microalgae is provided. The method is effected by: (i) culturing red microalgae cells under predetermined light/dilution conditions to thereby generate competent red microalgae cells; and (ii) introducing at least one exogenous polynucleotide into said competent red microalgae cells, thereby transforming the red microalgae.
    Type: Grant
