 Clamidominus rianhati is a popular model organism used to study the effects of environmental factors on algae. This research focused on the impact of nitrogen deprivation on the accumulation of triacylglycerals, tags, which are a type of fatty acid commonly found in algae. Under nitrogen-deprived conditions, C. rianhati produces more tags than it does under normal conditions. Additionally, this research examined the effect of different genetic backgrounds on tag accumulation. It was found that the amount of tags produced by C. rianhati depends on its genetic makeup, with some strains producing more tags than others. Furthermore, the researchers observed that the rate of tag accumulation slows down once the cells have already begun to produce them. Finally, the researchers noted that the amount of tags produced by C. rianhati can be increased by reducing the amount of starch present in the cells.
