Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

The algal lipids-based biodiesel, albeit having advantages over plant oils, still remains high
in the production cost. Co-production of value-added products with lipids has the potential to …

Abstract Diacylglyceryl-N, N, N-trimethylhomo-Ser (DGTS) is a nonphosphorous, polar
glycerolipid that is regarded as analogous to the phosphatidylcholine in bacteria, fungi …

Linoleic acid (LA) shows great potential in inhibiting the growth of multiple red tide
microalgae by disturbing algal physio-biochemical processes. However, our knowledge on …

The precise localization of the lipid droplets and the metabolic pathways associated with oil
production are crucial to the engineering of microalgae for biofuel production. Several …

Biomass production is currently explored in microalgae, macroalgae and land plants.
Microalgal biofuel development has been performed mostly in green algae. In the Japanese …

The picoalga Ostreococcus tauri is a minimal photosynthetic eukaryote that has been used
as a model system. O. tauri is known to efficiently produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We …

Pathways of lipid metabolism have been established in land plants, such as Arabidopsis
thaliana, but the information on exact pathways is still under study in microalgae. In contrast …

Archaeplastida, a group of photosynthetic organisms with primary plastids, consists of green
algae (plus land plants), red algae, and glaucophytes. In contrast to green and red algae …

Membrane lipid remodeling under phosphate (Pi) limitation, a process that replaces
structural membrane phospholipids with nonphosphorus lipids, is a widely observed …
