Abstract: Provided herein are modified Rubisco large subunit proteins and nucleid acids encoding such proteins, as well as photosynthetic organism transformed with said nucleic acids and expressing said proteins. In certain embodiments, photosynthetic organisms containing said modified Rubisco large subunit proteins exhibit increased biomass production.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are polynucleotides and the polypeptides encoded thereby and their use to increase biomass production by photosynthetic organisms. Also provided are photosynthetic organisms transformed by such polynucleotides and expressing such polypeptides.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel proteins that when over expressed in algae result in an increase or change in fatty acid and/or glycerol lipid production and/or accumulation, without a substantial decrease in the growth rate of the alga or the break down of algal components, such as chlorophyll. The present disclosure also describes methods of using the novel proteins to increase or change the production and/or accumulation of fatty acids and/or glycerol lipids in algae. In addition, these proteins are useful tools in obtaining information about the fatty acid and triacyglyceride (TAG) synthetic pathways in algae.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel lipid and growth genes that when over expressed in an organism results in a change in the lipid profile, and/or lipid content, and/or growth of the organism. The present disclosure also describes organisms expressing the genes, and methods of using the novel genes to change the lipid content, lipid profile or growth of an organism.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel genes, identified from a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cDNA library that when over expressed in algae confer sodium hypochlorite resistance to the organism. The present disclosure also provides methods of using the novel genes, and organism transformed by the novel genes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides several novel genes that have been shown to increase the biomass yield or biomass of a photosynthetic organism. The disclosure also provides methods of using the novel genes and organisms transformed with the novel genes.
