Evaluation of the genotoxic potential of protoporphyrin IX and the safety of a protoporphyrin IX‐rich algal biomass

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a nonpathogenic, nontoxigenic green algae used as a sustainable source of protein in foods. In order to mimic meat‐like qualities, a strain rich in protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), an endogenous heme/chlorophyll precursor, was developed using an evolution and selection strategy...
