Abstract: The genomic DNA isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC-849 was digested with BamH I and Bgl II. The 6-12 kb genomic DNA fragments were recovered from agarose gel and concentrated to 200 ng/μL. Then they were inserted into λDNA ZAP expression vector, packed by packaging extracts of λ phage and transformed into Escherichia coli XL1-Blue. Finally, the genomic DNA library was obtained with an average insert size of 9 kb. Results showed that the titer of genomic library was 2.12×105 pfu/mL and contained 4.26×104 clones. After amplified, the titer of genomic library was up to 9.5×106 pfu/mL.
