A first insight into the genome of Prototheca wickerhamii, a major causative agent of human protothecosis

Abstract Background Colourless microalgae of the Prototheca genus are the only known plants that have consistently been implicated in a range of clinically relevant opportunistic infections in both animals and humans. The Prototheca algae are emerging pathogens, whose incidence has increased importa...
