Overexpression of AtDXS gene

Overview

Mutinfo:

Overexpression of AtDXS gene

Organism:

Nannochloropsis oceanica (N. oceanica IMET1)

Method:

Overexpression

Phenotypes:

An oil-rich strain Nannochloropsis AtDXSoe3 was genetically created.

AtDXSoe3 produces ~110.6% more total lipids than wild-type stain.

AtDXSoe3 produces ~148.6% more neutral lipid than wild-type stain.

AtDXSoe3 exceeds documented engineered microalgae in oil production.

Crucial algal traits could be improved by engineering a single ‘control knob’ gene.
