Abstract: Methods are provided to select strains of photosynthetic microorganisms for enhanced photosynthetic efficiency or biomass accumulation. Strains are mutagenized, and then grown under high light in a turbidostat. Microorganisms created by this process are also described, as well as methods of using such isolated microorganisms for biomass production.

Abstract: Recombinant microorganisms and methods for using the same are disclosed herein for producing biomass or at least one biomolecule. These methods comprise culturing a photosynthetic microorganism that can overexpress a chlorophyllase, and optionally isolating biomass and/or at least one biomolecule from the culture.
