International audienceThe microalgae Chlorella vulgaris represent a good model for the study of photosynthetic membranes and are rich in photosynthetic proteins, galactolipids, and pigments (Demarco et al., 2022). These photosynthetic organisms have been consumed in some parts of the world for centuries and their nutritional potential has been highlighted in many reports, explaining a growing interest in their use in new food applications (Torres-Tiji et al., 2020). However, their digestibility by gastrointestinal enzymes has not been extensively studied. So we used the Pancreatic lipase related-protein 2 (PLRP2) to get more information on the digestive mechanisms. Indeed, it has been shown to be responsible for the effective hydrolysis of ...
