Brief Communication: Differential degradation of exogenous DNA in microalgal cell lysates

Ekta Kumari, Nanakow Baiden, John Verruto, Oscar Marsden, John Waite, Ian Hu

The paper compares DNA degradation in microalgal cell lysates, finding that recalcitrant species rapidly degrade exogenous DNA, while proficient species do not, suggesting nuclease activity as a barrier to transformation.
