"In her research she developed a process of artificial selection where
she killed off algae with low levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
(ACCase), an enzyme crucial to lipid synthesis. Left behind in the
beakers under her bed were an efficient bunch of high yield algae,
which she discovered produced a significant increase in lipid
production."

I wonder what the selection technique was. Maybe just separating
populations, taking a measurement, and then deciding which to dump.
