The present disclosure relates to propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies having Accession No. CCAP 211/134. The propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies has increased tolerance to propiconazole and has increased tolerance to abiotic stress. The present disclosure further provides a method for preparing the propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies. The propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies can selectively grow in the presence of propiconazole, has increased tolerance to temperature stress, and hence can be used for large scale production of algal biomass.

The present disclosure relates to propiconazole resistant mutants ofsp. having Accession No. CCAP 211/133. The propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies have increased tolerance to propiconazole. The present disclosure further provides a method for preparing the propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies. The propiconazole resistant mutants ofspecies can selectively grow in the presence of propiconazole, and hence can be used for large scale production of algal biomass.

The present disclosure relates to a process for the conversion of biomass to crude bio-oil. Phycocyanin is extracted from the biomass to form phycocyanin extracted biomass (PEB) and subjecting the PEB to HTL conversion to obtain crude bio-oil. PEB results in improved yield of crude bio-oil as compared to the crude bio-oil yield from biomass without first extracting the phycocyanin from the biomass.
