The present invention relates to a new Nephroselmis sp. novel strain and a method for increasing fatty acid content within a strain using the same. The novel strain of the present invention has a fast growth rate and contains a high content of lipids and fatty acids, and thus can be useful in the production of biodiesel. Also, since the novel strain of the present invention is separated from the acid mine and has a resistance to heavy metals, the activity thereof can be maintained even in waste water. Furthermore, the novel strain of the present invention has an advantage of being able to grow using minerals in the waste water by maintaining the activity in harsh environments such as waste water. In addition, in the case of culturing the strain with mine drainage and waste water, the novel strain of the present invention can maximally increase the content of the fatty acid, and thus is available in biodiesel production, and can be used to produce alternative energy. |
