To provide a comprehensive picture of their applicability in single-strand templated DNA repair and gene editing, we first mapped their targeting space by analysing their corresponding PAM frequencies, and then compared Cas9 and Cas12a activities by targeting overlapping regions at three independent loci in the <em>Chlamydomonas</em> genome. We identified 8 and 32 times more target sites for Cas9 compared to Cas12a within promoter regions and coding sequences, respectively. We found that Cas9 and Cas12a RNPs- co-delivered with ssODN repair templates- induced similar levels of total editing, achieving as much as 20–30 % in all viably recovered cells. Importantly, the level of precision editing was slightly higher for Cas12a.

This study systematically compares CF, FF, and PF in terms of algal cell removal efficiency, concentration ratio, flotation kinetics, impact on algal cells, removal efficiency of algal organic matter (AOM), microcystins (MC-LR) and disinfection by-products (DBPs), as well as economic cost analysis. CF is better suited for algae removal in water bodies, including drinking water sources, using fixed installations on shore due to its high removal efficiency, high concentration ratio, low chemical dosage, minimal residuals, and low risk of generating DBPs. FF is more appropriate for non-drinking water sources as it can remove algae and further control algal growth; however, its residual CTAB may pose a threat to drinking water safety. PF is most suitable for in situ algae removal within water bodies, primarily because it does not require stirring or coagulation. Instead, modified bubbles can be directly introduced into the algal distribution layer, where they adhere to algal cells, facilitating algae-water separation. All three flotation methods are economically feasible for algae removal. For FF, the costs of chemicals and electricity are nearly equal, while for CF and PF, the primary cost is electricity.
