    Euglena gracilis is an important photosynthetic economic microalgae, which can synthesize high value-added products such as β-carotene, parastarch, vitamins and fatty acids


    The team of Professor Wang Jiangxin from the School of Life and Marine Sciences of Shenzhen University has been studying the gene editing of Euglena since the beginning of 2014.



    Recently, team member Dr.

    In recent years, the gene editing technology CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated proteins) is a revolutionary technology in the field of life sciences, which has been widely used in the knockout of a variety of animal and plant genome genes.


    In the future, single-cell manipulation technology may further help improve the transformation efficiency and success rate of genetic engineering of single-celled microalgae
