A Galactoglycerolipid Lipase Is Required for Triacylglycerol Accumulation and Survival Following Nitrogen Deprivation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Following N deprivation, microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs). To gain
mechanistic insights into this phenomenon, we identified mutants with reduced TAG content …
