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 …

Microalgae accumulate starch and lipid as storage metabolites under nutrient depletion,
which can be used as sustainable feedstock for biorefinery. Omics analysis coupled with …

Label-free cell analysis is essential to personalized genomics, cancer diagnostics, and drug
development as it avoids adverse effects of staining reagents on cellular viability and cell …

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a leading unicellular model for dissecting
biological processes in photosynthetic eukaryotes. However, its usefulness has been limited …

Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient that limits global primary productivity; hence, N-use efficiency is
of compelling interest in agriculture and aquaculture. We used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

In cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbioses, algal endosymbiont population control within the
host is needed to sustain a symbiotic relationship. However, the molecular mechanisms that …

Drastic alteration in macronutrients causes large changes in gene expression in the
photosynthetic unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Preliminary data suggested that …

The great need for more sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels has increased our research
interests in algal biofuels. Microalgal cells, characterized by high photosynthetic efficiency …

Polysaccharides are a major carbon/energy-reservoir in microalgae, yet their relationship
with another form of carbon/energy storage, triacylglycerol (TAG), is poorly understood. Here …

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 …
