This study focuses on the genetic modification of Chlorella vulgaris, a microalga renowned for its industrial potential. Our research explores how altering its cell wall structure can significantly increase cell permeability. By developing specific mutants, we have demonstrated improved extraction of intracellular molecules, which are essential for various applications such as biofuel production, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The goal of this project is to optimize microalgae as a renewable resource by overcoming challenges related to biomass extraction and processing efficiency.
