520 3 _aThe development of more sustainable food, feed, and bio-products is critical to mitigating the environmental stresses facing our world today. Algae, which includes seaweeds, eukaryotic microalgae, and cyanobacteria, are a promising platform to achieving this, as they have low energy and space requirements, are safe for human and animal consumption, and can be manipulated to produce a diversity of valuable bioproducts. This review focuses on microalgae, both eukaryotic and cyanobacteria. In the past, addressing the major challenges of bringing microalgal production systems to an economically viable scale only had a relatively small genetic toolset to work with, in comparison to other microbial systems such as bacteria and yeast. Expanding the molecular tools available for genetic engineering of microalgae will lead to higher product yields, and accelerate the development of new microalgal bioproducts for commercial applications, thereby supporting the shift towards more environmentally friendly products. In this review, we highlight significant advances from recent years on the design of microalgal expression vectors, discovery of genetic regulatory elements (promoters and transcription factors), optimization of transformation methods, and development of new strain improvement techniques, all aimed at advancing microalgae to become a more efficient biomanufacturing platform. We then discuss how these tools have been applied to improving recombinant protein production, and to enhance metabolic pathway engineering.
