A The growth rate was measured for the wild-type and six mutant strains over a temperature range of 20 °C to 44.6 °C. B Photosynthetic irradiance response curves at 38 °C displaying the estimated specific growth rate, as measured by photosynthetic oxygen evolution. C The biomass yield on light for growth at 38 °C and 42 °C, the optimal and maximal growth temperature of the wild type, respectively. D Chlorophyll-a content in the microalgal biomass. E Chlorophyll-b content in the microalgal biomass. The data points represent the average value ± the standard deviation of three biological replicates
