Monoraphidium Neglectum
''Monoraphidium neglectum'' is a single-cell green alga of the family Selenastraceae. There is interest in using ''M. neglectum'' for the production of biofuels because it can accumulate large quantities (up to 33 % of cell dry weight) of triacylglycerides (TAGs). In 2013, a draft nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genome was published with an estimated nuclear size of 68 Mb and approximately 16,761 genes. The nuclear genome is likely diploid. The mitochondrial genome of ''M. neglectum'' is 96 kb, which is twice as large as ''Nannochloropsis gaditana'' and nearly six times larger than the green alga '' Chlamydomonas reinhardtii'', but contains fewer genes. A nuclear transformation technique has been established for ''M. neglectum'' using electrotransformation as the method of DNA delivery. The strategy described in this study, including a pretreatment step to weaken the cell wall, might inspire future studies with other microalgae also aiming at stable nuclear genetic t ...
