Isochrysis aff. galbana ''Tahitian isolate'' Variation

In the field of microalgae culture, the world still exploits wild strains, deposited during decades in dedicated culture collections. The concept of selecting strains for particular purposes is slowly emerging. We took advantage of the availability of wild type (T-Iso-Wt) and selected (T-Iso-S2M2) strains of the economically and ecologically important haptophyte Isochrysis affinis galbana (T-Iso) to conduct a transcriptomic study of the molecular variations produced during the selection program.
