Abstract excerpt
Many microalgae and plants have the ability to synthesize large amounts of triacylglycerol (TAG) that can be used to produce biofuels. Presently, TAG-based biofuel production is limited by the feedstock supply. Metabolic engineering of lipid synthesis pathways to overproduce TAGs in oleaginous microalgae and oil crop plants has achieved only modest success. We demonstrate that inactivation of ADP-glucose...
