Abstract
Chlorella viruses or chloroviruses contain a gene that encodes an enzyme that catalyzes chitin synthesis. This gene is expressed early in viral infections to produce chitin on the outside of the Chlorella cell wall. Interestingly, chitin synthesis by microalgal Chlorella cells in combination with chloroviruses represents a unique eco-friendly process for converting solar energy and CO2 into useful materials. However, during the final viral...
