Increasing the concentration of lipids in microalgae without compromising growth by genetic manipulation of TAG lipase
Microalgae store chemical energy as lipids. They include a large number of high-quality, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, which are essential for human nutrition and health.
Researchers from Goethe University in Frankfurt developed a method to increase the concentration of lipids in microalgae significantly by genetical manipulation of the enzyme TAG lipase.
