Abstract
The present invention provides methods for making microalgal strains with improved properties relative to the strains from which they are derived. In illustrative embodiments, the methods are performed to produce microalgal strains adapted for use in the industrial production of microalgae-derived biomass products, including but not limited to triglycerides and fatty acids. Also provided are microalgal strains, which can be obtained using the methods described herein, as wells microalgal-derived biomass products, which can be produced from such microalgal strains.
