Abstract
The present invention discloses a microfluidic photoreaction system and a method for screening a single cell organism having changed light-response characteristics. According to the present invention, an improved single cell organism can be effectively screened based on phototaxis using a microfluidic system. Specifically, easy monitoring at the cellular level is possible, and a mutant strain having an increased response and/or sensitivity to light can be easily and rapidly screened by various analyses, including statistical analysis of collected results. Thus, the present invention can be effectively used to investigate the correlation between phototaxis and photoconversion efficiency and to screen a single cell organism having increased photosynthetic efficiency.
