Microalgae are microscopic plants which are found in water, snow as well as land. They are
one of the major resources of biofuel. However, the phenomenon of biolipid accumulation …

Rapid growth and high carbon-fixation properties make microalgal biomass a preferred
source of energy-production technologies, particularly biodiesel and bioethanol, as well as …

Introduction Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model species frequently used to study lipid
metabolism in diatoms. When exposed to a nutrient limitation or starvation, diatoms are …

In the acyl-CoA-independent pathway of triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis unique to plants,
fungi, and algae, TAG formation is catalyzed by the enzyme phospholipid: diacylglycerol …

Nannochloropsis oceanica represents a preferred oleaginous alga for producing lipids.
Here we found that phosphorus deprivation (PD) caused a severe decrease in protein and a …

In this study, the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus supply on biodiesel production from
Scenedesmus obliquus with glucose as the carbon source were investigated. It was found …

Fucoxanthin (FX), a primary carotenoid, is associated with the fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c
binding protein (FCP) complex integrated into the thylakoid membrane (TM) which functions …

Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bacillariophyta) is a worldwide-distributed diatom with the
ability to adapt and survive in different environmental habitats and nutrient-limited …

Diatoms are feedstock for the production of sustainable biocommodities, including biofuel.
The biochemical characterization of newly isolated or genetically modified strains is seminal …

Unicellular organisms that live in marine environments must cope with considerable
fluctuations in the availability of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Here, we investigated the …
