Abstract

BACKGROUND
Photosynthetic microalgae are considered a viable and sustainable resource for biofuel feedstocks, because they can produce higher biomass per land area than plants and can be grown on non-arable land. Among many microalgae considered for biofuel production,

RESULTS
Based on their expression profile, six out of 12 type-2 DGAT-encoding genes (

CONCLUSIONS
Taken together, our results identified
