Algae have recently gained attention as a potential source for biodiesel; however, much is
still unknown about the biological triggers that cause the production of triacylglycerols. We …

Photosynthetic organisms are responsible for converting sunlight into organic matter, and
they are therefore seen as a resource for the renewable fuel industry. Ethanol and esterified …

Many unicellular microalgae produce large amounts (∼ 20 to 50% of cell dry weight) of
triacylglycerols (TAGs) under stress (eg, nutrient starvation and high light), but the synthesis …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) from algae are considered to be a potentially viable source of
biodiesel and thereby renewable energy, but at the moment very little is known about the …

Background Photosynthetic oleaginous microalgae are considered promising feedstocks for
biofuels. The marine microalga, Nannochloropsis oceanica, has been attracting ever …

Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs), a promising feedstock for biodiesel
production, under unfavorable environmental or stress conditions for their growth. Our …

Biodiesel production using microalgae would play a pivotal role in satisfying future global
energy demands. Understanding of lipid metabolism in microalgae is important to isolate …

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

Photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae can use sunlight to produce lipids as
important metabolic compounds. Plant-derived triacylglycerols (TAGs) are valuable for …

Dear Editor, Triacylglycerols (triglycerides)(TAGs), as the major storage forms of energy,
mainly are stored in adipocytes, myocytes, enterocytes, hepatocytes, and mammary …
