Breeding of Nannochloropsis oceanica: Growth Performance and Nutritional Potential of Wild-Type and Mutant Strains from Laboratory to Pilot Scale
The marine microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica is a promising organism for sustainable production of lipids, omega-3 fatty acids, and biomass with a high nutritional value. We demonstrate UV mutagenesis combined with visual screening to generate novel non-GMO strains with improved industrial traits. Four mutants display...
