Random mutagenesis of Phaeodactylum tricornutum using ultraviolet, chemical, and X-ray irradiation demonstrates the need for temporal analysis of phenotype stability

Abstract We investigated two non-ionising mutagens in the form of ultraviolet radiation (UV) and ethyl methanosulfonate (EMS) and an ionising mutagen (X-ray) as methods to increase fucoxanthin content in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. We implemented an ultra-high throughput method using...
