Overexpression of cyanobacterial fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (cyanoFBPase-II), an enzyme
that catalyzes an irreversible step in the Calvin cycle, improves growth and biomass accumulation in higher
plants, so we set out to determine if overexpression of Chlamydomonas FBPase (CrFBPase) has the same effect
in C. reinhardtii by using a chloroplast expression system
