Abstract excerpt
The commercial viability of microalgal biofuels is currently hindered by challenges in achieving high-yield biomass and lipid productivity. To address these limitations, this study employed UV-induced random mutagenesis to generate superior lipid-producing strains of Scenedesmus obliquus. Following mutagenesis and screening under nitrogen-deficient conditions, two mutant strains, SOM11 and SOM05, exhibited...
