Abstract excerpt
We investigated two non-ionising mutagens in the form of ultraviolet radiation (UV) and ethyl methanosulfonate (EMS) and an ionising mutagen (X-ray) as methods to increase fucoxanthin content in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. We implemented an ultra-high throughput method using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and live culture spectral deconvolution for isolation and screening of potential...
