Chlorella Genome sequencing and assembly
We focus this study on the green alga Chlorella ohadii that was isolated from a desert biological soil crust (BSC), one of the harshest environments on Earth. Organisms inhabiting this habitat must cope with extreme and large daily and seasonal fluctuations in temperature, frequent hydration (by early morning dew) followed by desiccation, large changes in the osmotic potential and very high irradiation of both UV and visible light.
