1. A method of producing an isolated microalgae strain comprising:
- subjecting a microalgae cell to serially increased concentrations of a salt sufficient to produce the isolated microalgae strain,wherein the subjecting step comprises growing the microalgae cell in a medium having an initial salinity in a range from about 0 ppt to about 45 ppt and increasing the salt concentration to a salinity in a range from about 50 ppt to about 400 ppt.
