Reduced cytotoxicity of polyethyleneimine by covalent modification of antioxidant and its application to microalgal transformation.

The conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals is an effective strategy for combating augmented concentrations of carbon dioxide in the environment. Microalgae photosynthetically produce valuable chemicals that are used as biofuels, sources for industrial materials, medicinal leads, and food additives. Thus, improvements in microalgal technology genetic engineering may prove to be promising for the tailored production of novel metabolites.
