 When cultivated under stress conditions, many microalgae species accumulate both starch, and oil, trisoglycerols, clamidominus reenhardti has emerged as a model to test genetic engineering or cultivation strategies aiming at increasing lipid yields for biodiesel production. Locking starch synthesis has been suggested as a way to boost oil accumulation. This article was authored by Carrier Patrick, me and my, Fesla Boris, and others.
