Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a recombinant algal organism that has been genetically modified in a gene encoding a protein kinase-like protein. The recombinant organism exhibits higher biomass productivity and higher lipid productivity versus a corresponding control algal organism not having the genetic modification. The recombinant organism is therefore useful in applications requiring biomass and/or lipid productivity, e.g. in the production of biofuels or other lipidic matter. Methods of using the organism and biomass containing or produced by the organism are also provided.
