Sustainable Photosynthetic H2-Production Mediated by Artificial miRNA silencing of OEE2 Gene in Green Alga Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
Scientists from China conducted an experiment to regulate H2 production from microalga Chlamydom
onas reinhardtii by using artificial miRNA technology. A heat inducible expression vector containing amiRNA targeting OEE2 gene was constructed and transformed into Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
The results showed that the transgenic alga showed higher H2 production due to the knock down of OEE2 gene. These results provide a prospective way for continuous hydrogen production by the algae for industrial applications.
