Tracking Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from an Italian Hospital: Molecular Epidemiology and Surveillance by PFGE, RAPD and PCR-Based Resistance Genes Prevalence.

abstract：:Unicellular green algae, like Chlorella, offer a potentially useful system for the expression of heterologous proteins. However, the development of Chlorella as a bioreactor has been delayed owing to the lack of a stable transformation technique. Here we report on the use of micro-projectile bombardment to introduce t...
