This invention relates to a
Chlorella mutant strain that is easily separated by
sedimentation and
cell wall disruption, and its uses, in the fields of
biology and bioengineering. The
Chlorella is...
Chlorella pyrenoidosa GA, deposited on March 23, 2026 at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), accession number CCTCC NO: M2026500. This Chlorella
mutant strain showed no difference in growth compared to the
wild type under all culture conditions, but exhibited a significantly increased
protein accumulation. Furthermore, the
mutant cells settled more easily, with significantly higher natural
sedimentation and
centrifugation efficiencies under the same treatment conditions compared to the wild-type strain.
Cell disruption was also significantly easier, facilitating
digestion and absorption by predators. The
mutant strain described in this invention has broad application prospects in the production of Chlorella-related products and
aquaculture.
