Glycosylation in Microalgal Host Cells

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering

Microalgae have generated increasing interest as microbial cell factories to produce therapeutics proteins. This is because they can grow on very cheap media and their GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status means they are a fantastic option for the production of therapeutics that can be administered orally.
