| Abstract |
In order to produce natural pigments with competitive prices, algal strains employed in industrial production need to be improved for increasing the productivity of valuable metabolites, thereby reducing the overall production cost. Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a traditional method for strain improvement, which has been effectively utilized in bacteria and fungi. With the growing interest in algal biotechnology, attempts have recently been put forward to improve microalgal strains with ALE approach. This chapter describes a stepwise adaptive evolution strategy that enhances carotenoid yield from microalgae. |
