Characterisation of the Dunaliella tertiolecta RbcS genes and their promoter activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Plant Cell Reports, 2004 The availability of highly active homologous promoters and terminators is critical in the development of a transformation system for the unicellular microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta. To facilitate transformation of this species, we isolated and characterised two native ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit genes (RbcS) including

Effects of Burkholderia thailandensis rhamnolipids on the unicellular algae Dunaliella tertiolecta [PDF]
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2019 The effects of rhamnolipids (RLs) produced and further purified from Burkholderia thailandensis, on the unicellular microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta were investigated, in terms of RLs ability to affect algal growth, photosynthetic apparatus structure and energy flux, round and through photosystems II and I. Specifically, 24-48 h RLs-treated algae (RLs
