Transcriptional factor-basic helix loop helix 2

Overview


Mutinfo: Transcriptional factor-basic helix loop helix 2
Organism: Nannochloropsis salina (N. salina CCMP1776)
Method: Overexpression
Genes: NSK009587
Reporter: Flag tag
Promoter: β-tub, UEP
Selection: Zeocin
Phenotypes: overexpression of NsbHLH2 led to increased growth rate in the early growth period, and concomitantly higher nutrient uptake, than wild type (WT). These enhanced growth and nutrient uptake resulted in increased productivities of biomass and FAME.
