Abstract
The present invention relates to microalgae with improved phototaxis and photosynthetic efficiency, and more particularly, to a microalgae PTS42 (KCTC18499P) mutant ofand uses thereof. In the microalgae PTS42 according to the present invention of which photosensitivity and photosynthetic efficiency are improved due to excellent phototaxis, conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass is excellent as compared to a wild type strain and a maximum photosynthesis rate and lipid accumulation ability are also high, such that the microalgae PTS42 are useful as a photosynthetic strain for constructing a biofuel production process as well as an effect of decreasing carbon dioxide.
