This paper demonstrates the efficient secretion of a plastic-degrading enzyme, PHL7, from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing its ability to degrade PET and bio-based polyurethanes.

The paper demonstrates the production of a plastic-degrading enzyme, PHL7, in the extremophile alga Chlamydomonas pacifica in open raceway ponds.

This paper characterizes a new extremophile green algae, Chlamydomonas pacifica, highlighting its biotechnological potential for biofuel and biodegradable plastic production.

This paper develops genetic tools for heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in cyanobacteria, enabling high-titer production of cryptomaldamide in Anabaena.
