Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provided herein include novel promoters isolated from the microalgae, Nannochloropsis. These promoters drive gene expression in a bidirectional manner, and are especially useful for the genetic manipulation of Nannochloropsis and other organisms. The inventors herein successfully used these promoters (in both parallel and antiparallel orientations with respect to a Sh ble gene cassette) to impart zeocine-resistance to Nannochloropsis.
