  • Publication number: 20210198684
    Abstract: A method for increasing the yield of microalgae and the yield of a product produced by the microalgae is provided. The method includes performing a change procedure on CAM1 gene and/or calmodulin 1 encoded by the CAM1 gene in a microalga, such that a change occurs in a nucleotide and/or the nucleotide sequence of the CAM1 gene and/or an amino acid and/or the amino acid sequence of the calmodulin 1 encoded by the CAM1 gene in the microalga to obtain an altered microalga. The altered microalga has an altered CAM1 gene and/or an altered calmodulin 1.
