In recent years, microalgae have garnered interest for
producing valuable molecules ranging from therapeutic
proteins to biofuels. Nutritional and medical applications
are especially fitting for these organisms because many
biomolecules expressed by microalgae are generally
regarded as safe (GRAS) for human consumption [1,2].
Although numerous species produce useful compounds
naturally, these unicellular organisms are also well suited
for genetic manipulation and high-throughput analysis
