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. The altered microalga has a higher growth rate and a higher product production rate and/or yield than an unaltered microalga.
A method for increasing the yield of microalgae and the yield of a product produced by the microalgae, comprising:
An altered CAM1 gene, of which the nucleotide sequence comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1, in which the nucleotide sequence of the CAM1 gene has a change, and a region having the change in the nucleotide sequence of the CAM1 gene comprises:
A polypeptide, of which the amino acid sequence comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO. 6 or the sequence of SEQ ID NO. 7.
A microalga, comprising an altered CAM1 gene and/or a polypeptide,
A novel Chlamydomonas sp., which is Chlamydomonas reinhardtii ITRI-ALG-3 deposited at Bioresource Collection and Research Centre of Food Industry Research and Development Institute and whose deposit number is BCRC 980055 or which is Chlamydomonas reinhardtii ITRI-ALG-8 which is deposited at Bioresource Collection and Research Centre of Food Industry Research and Development Institute and whose deposit number is BCRC 980056.
