SINGLE CHAIN ANTIBODIES FOR PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

A single chain antibody that binds algae is described. The single chain antibody for algae is used to capture algae onto bioactive films. The single chain antibody is also used in a chimeric construct having a substrate binding domain and a single chain antibody domain. Dimers, trimmers, and multimer constructs are also described that aid in collection of algae from liquid mixtures by causing flocculation of algae cells.
