The aim of this master thesis was to test and compare two available methods of genetic transformation (biolistics, electroporation) of the plastid genome of green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. For biolistic transformation a wide range of experimental parameters which generally influence ptDNA transformation efficiency was optimized: physiological condition of acceptor cells, type and size of microparticles, pressure of propulsion gas (helium), length of projectile trajectory, transformation of cells directly on selective medium (containing spectinomycin 150 ?g/ml) or on nonselective medium (without spectinomycin) and form of transforming DNA. In contrast to nuclear transformation ptDNA transformation of the experimental object C. reinhardtii by means of electroporation hadn´t been described. Hence a wide range of values of different physical parameters which can significantly influence the transformation efficiency was tested.
