Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are modified strains of Chlorella vulgaris having a reduced chitin content. The reduced chitin content may improve digestibility. Also disclosed is a method for producing them. The method involves performing mutagenesis of a parent strain of Chlorella vulgaris. The mutation may be induced with a mutagen such as ethyl methanesulphonate. Also disclosed is a composition comprising algae biomass derived from the modified strains of Chlorella vulgaris and their use in food and/or cosmetics amongst other applications.
