DIRECTED EVOLUTION USING TURBIDOSTAT FOR INCREASED SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE AND REDUCED LIGHT-HARVESTING ANTENNA SIZE OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS FOR INCREASED PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY

Methods are provided to select strains of photosynthetic microorganisms for enhanced photosynthetic efficiency or biomass accumulation. Strains are mutagenized, and then grown under high light in a turbidostat. Microorganisms created by this process are also described, as well as methods of using su...

Zusammenfassung:Methods are provided to select strains of photosynthetic microorganisms for enhanced photosynthetic efficiency or biomass accumulation. Strains are mutagenized, and then grown under high light in a turbidostat. Microorganisms created by this process are also described, as well as methods of using such isolated microorganisms for biomass production.
