The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to develop and demonstrate directed evolution approaches on select algae strains to produce quantifiable improvements in algal biomass yields and photosynthetic efficiencies. The proposed project would also design and test phototrophic cocultures as a mechanism to improve photo utilization, stress tolerance, and pest resistance in outdoor cultures.
