When deprived of nitrogen (N), the photosynthetic microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
accumulates large quantities of triacylglycerols (TAGs), making it a promising source of …

Degradation of the storage compound triacylglycerol (TAG) is a crucial process in response
to environmental stimuli. In microalgae, this process is important for re-growth when …

Understanding the unique features of triacylglycerol (TAG) metabolism in microalgae may
be necessary to realize the full potential of these organisms for biofuel and biomaterial …

Following N deprivation, microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs). To gain
mechanistic insights into this phenomenon, we identified mutants with reduced TAG content …

Organisms of the microalgal genus Nannochloropsis produce high levels of triacylglycerols
(TAGs), an efficient raw material for biofuels. A complete understanding of the TAG …

The elucidation of lipid metabolism in microalgae has attracted broad interest, as their
storage lipid, triacylglycerol (TAG), can be readily converted into biofuel via …

The microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii accumulates triacylglycerols (TAGs) in lipid
droplets under stress conditions, such as nitrogen starvation. TAG biosynthesis occurs …

In microalgae, triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis occurs by parallel pathways involving both
the chloroplast and endoplasmic reticulum. A better understanding of contribution of each …

Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT s) catalyze a rate‐limiting step of triacylglycerol
(TAG) biosynthesis in higher plants and yeast. The genome of the green alga …

Neutral lipid metabolism has been extensively studied in yeast, plants and mammals. In
contrast, little information is available regarding the biochemical pathway, enzymes and …
