چکیده

Background Microalgae are becoming a viable model for the expression of recombinant proteins. However, suitable levels of expression for commercial production have not yet been obtained. One way to increase the heterologous protein production is the codon optimization of the target gene so that it presents the preferential codons used by the host organism according to its own pool of transfer RNA (tRNA). For codon optimization the Codon Usage Database (CUD; http://www.kazusa.or.jp/codon) has been used. The database provides codon frequency tables based on gene transcripts, regardless of their level of expression. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if there are changes in the frequency of codons used when taking into account the level of expression of genes, considering the 50 most expressed genes and 50 least expressed genes from the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
