Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a green microalga. The unicellular and genetically modifiable organism posses several characteristics making it an interesting model organism for synthetic biology.

Inexpensive & easy cultivation
Phototrophic
Enviromental-safe
Two expression compartments (nucleus & chloroplast)
Post-translational modification
one organism = single cell
