Abstract
Microalgal biomass and metabolites can be used as a renewable source of nutrition, pharmaceuticals and energy to maintain or improve the quality of human life. Microalgae’s high volumetric productivity and low impact on the environment make them a promising raw material in terms of both ecology and economics. To optimize biotechnological processes with microalgae, improving the productivity and robustness of the cell factories is a major step towards economically viable bioprocesses. This review provides an overview of random mutagenesis techniques that are applied to microalgal cell factories, with a particular focus on physical and chemical mutagens, mutagenesis conditions and mutant characteristics.

Abstract
Microalgae are a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that can be exploited for the production of different compounds, ranging from crude biomass and biofuels to high value-added biochemicals and synthetic proteins. Traditionally, algal biotechnology relies on bioprospecting to identify new highly productive strains and more recently, on forward genetics to further enhance productivity. However, it has become clear that further improvements in algal productivity for biotechnology is impossible without combining traditional tools with the arising molecular genetics toolkit. We review recent advantages in developing high throughput screening methods, preparing genome-wide mutant libraries, and establishing genome editing techniques. We discuss how algae can be improved in terms of photosynthetic efficiency, biofuel and high value-added compound production. Finally, we critically evaluate developments over recent years and explore future potential in the field.

Abstract
LTP treatment was applied to induce a high-content alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) strain (C-12) from Chlorella sp. L166, the ALA content of C-12 was increased by 48.37%. The mechanism of LTP induction were examined. The results showed that LTP could facilitate pH change, induce malondialdehyde (MDA) production, cause protein leakage, and destroyed the microalgae cells. The genes of C-12 encoding pyruvate dehydrogenase (E2) were up-regulated 2.47-fold, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) down-regulated 0.48-fold compared to the wild type, these changed in the direction of ALA accumulation. Furthermore, the enzymes in DNA replication were significantly up regulated. Take ALA and biomass accumulation into account, LTP technology had a positive effect on ALA accumulation. Global view of metabolic variation also suggested that C-12 had an excellent adaptability to the changes of pH and peroxidation of LTP production. C-12 could be a promising ALA source of alternative materials for it do not compete with land.

Abstract
The study aimed at understanding the biochemical and molecular level modifications in Desmodesmus sp. under lipid inducing stress conditions. The low-temperature (5 °C) incubation and nitrogen starvation reduced the PS II electron transport in microalga with a maximum reduction of 50-57% in ET0/ABS values. The PS II electron transport recovered in UV treated cultures after an initial reduction of 87-93% in ET0/ABS values. A 2.7-4.4 fold increase in ROS and MDA levels was observed under low-temperature incubation, and nitrogen starvation. The UV treatment caused 1.3-2.4 fold higher ROS and MDA levels than control. The low-temperature incubated, nitrogen starved, and UV treated cultures showed 2.4-4 fold higher acc D gene expression. A higher rbc L gene expression was observed under low-temperature stress. The study showed modifications in PS II electron transport, oxidative status, and expression of acc D and rbc L genes under stress conditions.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the number of original articles and reviews presenting microalgae as a promising feedstock for biodiesel has increased tremendously. Many improvements of microalgae have been achieved through selection and strain development for industrial applications. However, the large-scale production of lipids for commercialization is not yet realistic because the production is still much more expensive than that of agricultural products. This review summarizes recent research on the induction of lipid biosynthesis in microalgae and the various strategies of genetic and metabolic engineering for enhancing lipid production. Strain engineering targets are proposed based on these strategies. To address current limitations of strain engineering for lipid production, this review provides insights on recent engineering strategies based on molecular tools and methods, and also discusses further perspectives.

Abstract
Biological CO2 capture using microalgae is a promising new method for reducing CO2 emission of coal-fired flue gas. The strain of microalgae used in this process plays a vital role in determining the rate of CO2 fixation and characteristics of biomass production. High requirements are put forward for algae strains due to high CO2 concentration and diverse pollutants in flue gas. CO2 can directly diffuse into the cytoplasm of cells by extra- and intracellular CO2 osmotic pressure under high CO2 concentrations. The flue gas pollutants, such as SOx, NOx and fly ashes, have negative effects on the growth of microalgae. This work reviewed the state-of-the-art advances on microalgae strains used for CO2 fixation, focusing on the modification and improvement of strains that are used for coal-fired flue gas. Methods such as genetic engineering, random mutagenesis, and adaptive evolution have the potential to facilitate photosynthesis, improve growth rate and reduce CO2 emission.

Abstract
Microalgae biorefinery is an alternative, sustainable and promising trend to solve the problem of fossil oil depletion and carbon dioxide emission. However, considering the innate limitation of cell growth and oil content in microalgae, to accelerate metabolic balance by CRISPR/Cas9 system is attractive. At first, plasmid based from Agrobacterium tumefaciens and a fragment of mGFP was transformed into Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella vulgaris FSP-E by electroporation, respectively. Selected colonies were tested by spectrophotometer and inverted fluorescence microscopy (IFM), and an increase of fluorescent was observed by 67% compared with that in wild type, which proved the Agrobacterium-mediated plasmid is suitable for gene insertion in Chlorella species. Consequently, plasmid with similar structure as mentioned previously containing fragment of Cas9 with sgRNA designed on omega-3 fatty acid desaturase (fad3) gene was constructed and showed a higher accumulation of lipid content by 46% (w/w) in C. vulgaris FSP-E. This is first-time to use CRISPR/Cas9 based technology for gene manipulation in Chlorella.

Enhanced production of triacylglycerols and polyunsaturated fatty acids in novel acid-tolerant mutants of the green microalga Chlorella saccharophila. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2019; 42:1561-1571.

Abstract
In this study, the microalga Chlorella saccharophila was subjected to ultraviolet (UV) mutagenesis, and mutant screening was conducted based on acidity tolerance to generate mutants with increased triacylglycerol (TAG) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) contents. Two improved mutant strains (M1 and M5) were generated. M1 and M5 accumulated 27.2% and 27.4% more TAG, respectively, and showed stronger fluorescence intensity than the wild-type (WT) strain when the cells of these mutants were stained with the lipophilic Nile Red stain. In the M1 mutant, 50.5% of the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were saturated (C16:0 and C18:0) and 25.27% were monounsaturated (C18:1) fatty acids which are suitable for biofuels production. In the M5 mutant, 65.19% of the total FAMEs were nutritional PUFAs (C16:2, C18:2, and C18:3), while these FAMEs were not detected in the WT. These results demonstrated that UV mutagenesis coupled to an acid pH screening strategy represents a valuable and fast platform to generate mutants of C. saccharophila with improved TAG and PUFA contents for biofuels and nutraceutical applications, respectively.

Abstract
Microalgae have been used commercially since the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the Far East for human health foods and in the United States for wastewater treatment. Initial attempts to produce bulk chemicals such as biofuels from microalgae were not successful, despite commercially favorable conditions during the 1970s oil crisis. However, research initiatives at this time, many using extremophilic microalgae and cyanobacteria (e.g., Dunaliella and Spirulina), did solve many problems and clearly identified biomass productivity and harvesting as the two main constraints stopping microalgae producing bulk chemicals, such as biofuels, on a large scale. In response to the growing unease around global warming, induced by anthropogenic CO2 emissions, microalgae were again suggested as a carbon neutral process to produce biofuels. This recent phase of microalgae biofuels research can be thought to have started around 2007, when a very highly cited review by Chisti was published. Since 2007, a large body of scientific publications have appeared on all aspects of microalgae biotechnology, but with a clear emphasis on neutral lipid (triacylglycerol) synthesis and the use of neutral lipids as precursors for biodiesel production. In this review, the key research on microalgal biotechnology that took place prior to 2007 will be summarized and then the research trends post 2007 will be examined emphasizing the research into producing biodiesel from microalgae.

Abstract
In this study, we applied a second round of random mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate to further increase the lipid productivity of a Chlorella vulgaris mutant strain. We generated a mutant (UV715-EMS25) with a lipid content and biomass that were respectively 67% and 35% higher than those of the wild type (WT). The highest achieved lipid productivity in UV715-EMS25 was 91 mg L-1 day-1. Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the fatty acid methyl ester content of the mutant was 3.9-fold higher compared with that of WT cells. Amounts of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were also higher in the mutant, while the total amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids were lower. Finally, the mutant displayed superior lipid productivity compared with the WT during pilot-scale cultivation in a flat panel photobioreactor. All these results demonstrate that UV715-EMS25 is highly suitable for biodiesel production.

Abstract
To identify innovative ways for better utilizing flushed dairy manure wastewater, we have assessed the effect of dairy manure and supplementation with synthetic medium on the growth of Chlorella vulgaris. A series of experiments were carried out to study the impacts of pretreatment of dairy wastewater and the benefits of supplementing dairy manure wastewater with synthetic medium on C. vulgaris growth increment and the ultrastructure (chloroplast, starch, lipid, and cell wall) of C. vulgaris cells. Results showed that the biomass production of C. vulgaris in dairy wastewater can be enhanced by pretreatment and using supplementation with synthetic media. A recipe combining pretreated dairy wastewater (40 %) and synthetic medium (60 %) exhibited an improved growth of C. vulgaris. The effects of dairy wastewater on the ultrastructure of C. vulgaris cells were distinct compared to that of cells grown in synthetic medium. The C. vulgaris growth in both synthetic medium and manure wastewater without supplementing synthetic medium was lower than the growth in dairy manure supplemented with synthetic medium. We anticipate that the results of this study will help in deriving an enhanced method of coupling nutrient-rich dairy manure wastewater for biofuel production.
