Abstract

Many items have impacts on recombinant protein production in making it affordable, the most important of which is host with its characteristics such as compatibility, yields, expression system, costs, environmental effects, etc. Humans have been using spirulina (Arthrospira sp.) algae for centuries. It enjoys features which propose it as a golden host cell. Although several researches have been conducted to develop a stable and reliable transformation system, only a few projects meet the need. The aim of current paper was to focus on spirulina transformation researches. So reason to select the host and procedures to optimize a transformation system were given.
