Effects of Extracellular Self- and Nonself-DNA on the Freshwater Microalga <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> and on the Marine Microalga <i>Nannochloropsis gaditana</i>

Effects of Extracellular Self- and Nonself-DNA on the Freshwater Microalga <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> and on the Marine Microalga <i>Nannochloropsis gaditana</i>

The role of extracellular DNA (exDNA) in soil and aquatic environments was mainly discussed in terms of source of mineral nutrients and of genetic material for horizontal gene transfer. Recently, the self-exDNA (conspecific) has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of that organism,...
