The present invention concerns a method for production of genetically modified (recombinant) protists without using negative selection markers, in which an auxotrophic mutant of the protist is produced, this mutant is then transformed with recombinant DNA containing at least one gene for complementation of the corresponding auxotrophy, and the resulting recombinant protist is finally selected on a minimal medium that makes possible growth of only the correspondingly complemented protist. The present invention also concerns an efficient method for production of proteins by protists so modified, in which the gene for the protein being produced is coupled to the marker gene.
