The past decade has seen the genetic engineering of various types of seaweed. To date, genetic transformation studies have been carried out in several seaweeds, including the red seaweeds Porphyra, Gracilaria, Grateloupia, Kappaphycus and Ceramium and the green seaweed Ulva. A genetic transformation model system has been established in the most commonly cultivated seaweed, the brown seaweed Laminaria japonica (kelp), based on the transfer of technology used in land plant transformation and also by modulating the seaweed life cycle. This model showed the potential for application of transgenic kelp to the production of valuable products and an indoor cultivation system for transgenic kelp was proposed, taking into account necessary factors for bio-safety. In this review, the establishment at use of the kelp transformation model is introduced, highlighting the potential for transforming kelp into a marine bioreactor.
在过去十年中，人们对各种海藻进行了基因工程改造。迄今为止，已经在几种海藻中开展了遗传转化研究，包括红藻紫菜、江蓠、蜈蚣藻、卡帕藻和角叉菜，以及绿藻石莼。基于陆地植物转化技术的转移并通过调节海藻生命周期，在最常养殖的海藻——褐藻海带中建立了遗传转化模型系统。该模型显示了转基因海带在生产有价值产品方面的应用潜力，并考虑到生物安全的必要因素，提出了转基因海带的室内培养系统。在这篇综述中，介绍了海带转化模型的建立与应用，突出了将海带转化为海洋生物反应器的潜力。
