Abstract: Euglena gracilis is a photosynthetic microalga that can synthesize paramylon. This study utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to knock out β-1,3-glucan phosphorylase, resulting in engineered strains to increase paramylon production. The ldp1 mutant strain produced paramylon constituting 68.20%… read more here.
