Abstract
The invention is directed to Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 as well as to a culture medium for Haematococcus sp. KAU-01, and to methods for using this strain to process environmental pollutants such as gases generated by coal-fired plants.
Claims19
A Haematococcus sp. that is Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 deposited under Patent Deposit Number PTA-12772 or a subculture or an engineered variant thereof that has genomic or ribosomal DNA at least 99% identical to that of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01.
A composition comprising Haematococcus sp. that is Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 deposited under Patent Deposit Number PTA-12772 or subculture thereof in combination with an artificial culture medium that incorporates at least one material comprising a product obtained by combustion.
An engineered variant of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 deposited under patent deposit number PTA-127272;
- wherein said variant has genomic DNA that is less than 100% identical to that of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 and wherein said variant has been produced by transformation of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 with an exogenous DNA, has been produced by chemical or radiological treatment of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01, has been produced by having the genomic DNA of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01 epigenetically modified to differ from that of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01,
- wherein said variant has 18S and/or 26S rDNA that is 100% identical to that of Haematococcus sp. KAU-01.
