Microalgae are a promising future source for sustainable edible oils. To make microalgal oil a cost-effective alternative for common vegetable oils, increasing TAG productivity and TAG content are of high importance. Fulfilling these targets requires proper understanding of lipid metabolism in microalgae. Here, we provide an overview of our current knowledge on the biology of TAG accumulation as well as the latest developments and future directions for increasing oil production in microalgae, considering both metabolic engineering techniques and cultivation strategies.
微藻是可持续食用油的有前途的未来来源。为了使微藻油成为普通植物油的具有成本效益的替代品,提高 TAG 生产力和 TAG 含量至关重要。实现这些目标需要对微藻中的脂质代谢有正确的理解。在这里,我们提供了对 TAG 积累生物学的最新认识以及提高微藻产油的最新发展和未来方向的概述,同时考虑了代谢工程技术和培养策略。
