Genome-wide identification and characterization of stress-responsive genes in Chlorella vulgaris.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chlorella vulgaris is a significant green alga that has a role in the bioremediation of environmental pollutants, especially heavy metals. Therefore, to meet the emerging needs of sustainable bioremediation, it is the need of the hour to improve the bioremediation potential of Chlorella vulgaris. Stress-related genes play significant roles in homeostasis and stress management in algal species, including C. vulgaris. It deals with varying pH and temperature, toxic heavy metals, oxidative stress, and many others. While certain stress-responsive proteins such as Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) and Antioxidant Enzymes have been previously reported in C. vulgaris, this study aims to expand the scope by identifying and characterizing a diverse range of genes from various gene famil
