Neutral lipids in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) have emerged as critical regulators of
cellular energy balance, lipid homeostasis, growth, development and stress response in …

In eukaryotic cells, lipids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major reservoir of
cellular carbon and energy. These TAGs are packed into specialized organelles called lipid …

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

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

Triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation mechanisms under stress have been intensively
investigated in recent years in microalgae and efforts aiming to increase TAG synthesis have …

Improving the ability of microalgae cells to accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) without a
negative effect on growth or biomass accumulation is desirable for economically-viable …

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 …

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 …

Background Microalgal triglyceride (TAG) synthesis has attracted considerable attention.
Particular emphasis has been put towards characterizing the algal homologs of the …

Plant productivity is determined by the conversion of solar energy into biomass through
oxygenic photosynthesis, a process performed by protein-cofactor complexes including …
