In recent years, many protein products have been successfully expressed in various genetically engineered organisms and tested for use as new, more potent or safer drugs, more selective and active enzymes, and health foods. Joint efforts from bio-scientists and engineers are needed to produce these proteins at desired rates inexpensively, easily and in a fully functional form. Under this proposal, funds are requested for conducting a complete set of tasks to develop technologies for the environmentally friendly and cost-efficient production of recombinant protein products, using genetically-engineered algae, carbon dioxide and/or other inexpensive carbon sources, light illumination, and other simple media in fully controlled photo-bioreactors. The direct outcome of this research is expected to bring both economic and environmental benefits to Canada.

近年来，许多蛋白质产品已经成功地在各种基因工程生物中表达，并被测试用于新的、更有效或更安全的药物、更具选择性和活性的酶和健康食品。生物科学家和工程师需要共同努力，以低成本、容易和功能齐全的方式以理想的速度生产这些蛋白质。根据这项建议，要求提供资金，以便在完全受控的光生物反应器中，利用基因工程藻类、二氧化碳和/或其他廉价碳源、照明和其他简单介质，开展一整套任务，开发环境友好和成本效益高的重组蛋白产品生产技术。这项研究的直接成果有望为加拿大带来经济和环境效益。
