A novel salt-inducible CrGPDH3 promoter of the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for transgene overexpression

The expression of transgenes in the nucleus is an attractive alternative for the expression of recombinant proteins in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. For this purpose, a strong inducible promoter that allows protein accumulation without possible negative effects on cell multiplication and biomass accumulation is desirable. A previous study at our laboratory identified that the CrGPDH3 gene from C. reinhardtii was inducible under...
