Microorganisms are valuable resources for lipid production. What makes one microbe but
not the other able to efficiently synthesize and accumulate lipids is poorly understood. In the …

Autophagy is a catabolic process in which cytoplasmic components are delivered to
vacuoles or lysosomes for degradation and nutrient recycling. Autophagy-mediated …

Ongoing global efforts to commercialize microalgal biofuels have expedited the use of multi-
omics techniques to gain insights into lipid biosynthetic pathways. Functional genomics …

Global warming is a critical issue and has great impact on all living organisms, including
algae. Generally, algae play significant roles in aquatic ecosystems and employ diverse …

Microalgae have higher productivity of biomass than the conventional crops of fuel and are
therefore, considered a potential biofuel source. Lipid, an important precursor of biodiesel …

Microalgae-based biofuels are promising sources of alternative energy, but improvements
throughout the production process are required to establish them as economically feasible …

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 …

Green algae can accumulate high levels of triacylglycerol (TAG), yet knowledge remains
fragmented on the regulation of lipid metabolic pathways by transcription factors (TFs). Here …

Starving microalgae for nitrogen sources is commonly used as a biotechnological tool to
boost storage of reduced carbon into starch granules or lipid droplets, but the accompanying …

Abstract In 2010, when the National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts
(NAABB) consortium began, little was known about the molecular basis of algal biomass or …
