Mutagenized Chlorella vulgaris strains lower cell wall chitin to enhance digestibility, eliminating energy-intensive downstream processing.
Genetically engineered photosynthetic unicells express cell adhesion proteins to self-assemble into defined multicellular structures.
Disrupting non-photochemical quenching in photosynthetic microorganisms increases biomass concentration by up to 30% compared to control cultures.
Glucose limitation in heterotrophic Chlorella culture reduces growth rate while redirecting carbon flux, increasing protein content above 50% by weight.
