微藻具有巨大的生态相关性，因为它们对全球碳固定做出了重大贡献。但在过去几十年中，微藻也变得越来越令人感兴趣，因为许多藻类提供有价值的天然产物。特别是一些物种的高脂质含量目前在生物柴油工业中引起了广泛关注。几年前出现的另一种应用是使用微藻作为重组蛋白的表达平台。关于生产治疗剂、疫苗和饲料补充剂的几个项目证明了使用微藻作为新型低成本表达平台的巨大潜力。本文综述了微藻蛋白表达系统的发展前景和优势，并对微藻蛋白表达系统的应用前景进行了展望。
Microalgae have an enormous ecological relevance as they contribute significantly to global carbon fixation. But also for biotechnology microalgae became increasingly interesting during the last decades as many algae provide valuable natural products. Especially the high lipid content of some species currently attracts much attention in the biodiesel industry. A further application that emerged some years ago is the use of microalgae as expression platform for recombinant proteins. Several projects on the production of therapeutics, vaccines and feed supplements demonstrated the great potential of using microalgae as novel low-cost expression platform. This review provides an overview on the prospects and advantages of microalgal protein expression systems and gives an outlook on potential future applications.
