Metabolic engineering using iterative self-cloning to improve lipid productivity in Coccomyxa

Abstract We previously developed a self-cloning system that introduces cDNA of the uridine monophosphate synthase gene (cUMPS) of Coccomyxa sp. strain Obi as a selectable marker into uracil-auxotrophic mutants (Ura−) of the same alga. Here, we developed a Cre/loxP-based system for the removal of cUM...
