Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Prototheca wickerhamii Provide Insight Into the Protothecosis Evolution

The Prototheca alga is the only chlorophyte known to be involved in a series of clinically relevant opportunistic infections in humans and animals, namely, protothecosis. Most pathogenic cases in humans are caused by Prototheca wickerhamii. In order to investigate the evolution of Prototheca and the...
