Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides a method of producing biomass or at least one biomolecule comprising culturing a photosynthetic microorganism that comprises a disrupted Non-Photochemical Quenching (NPQ) process, and isolating biomass or at least one biomolecule from the culture.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing biomass or at least one free fatty acid or fatty acid derivative, the method comprising: culturing a cyanobacterium that comprises a disrupted Non-Photochemical Quenching (NPQ) process in a suitable culture medium as an actively mixed culture in a pond or bioreactor that includes at least one active mixing device, wherein the cyanobacterium experiences intermittent light conditions as a result of movement between brighter and darker reg…
