Method and Composition for Generating Programmed Cell Death Resistant Algal Cells

The present invention provides transgenic algal cells resistant to programmed cell death (PCD) and methods and compositions useful in generating such cells. Specifically, the invention utilizes expression of one or more mammalian anti-apoptotic genes in algal cells to promote resistance to PCD, which is useful for stress tolerance and increased cell viability and biomass production during cultivation.
