title: [Progress on Chlorella in the area of molecular biology].
abstract: Unicellular green alga Chlorella is a kind of important eukaryotic microalga. A lot of work about Chlorella was reported in recent years with the rapid development of algal biotechnique. In the area of molecular biology, studies of Chlorella focus on the nuclear and chloroplast genome, cloning and analysis of important genes and genetic engineering using Chlorella as vector. This review reports the research progress in these aspects.
