Chlamydomonas: Biotechnology and Biomedicine

Covers applicable novel aspects in biotechnology and biomedicine including photoreceptors relevant for optogenetics

Provides strategies towards the production of renewable fuels such as triacylglycerol and hydrogen as well as the production of biotechnological and biopharmaceutical relevant recombinant proteins

Permits new understandings of sexual reproduction, ciliary membrane trafficking, ciliary function regulation and pathology of ciliopathies
