Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic and genotypic changes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii BafJ5, a starchless mutant, with respect to lipid metabolism was studied in different trophic states under nitrogen (N) sufficient and limited conditions. Interestingly, cellular lipid content increased linearly with input acetate concentration with highest lipid content (∼42%) under nitrogen limitation and mixotrophic state. RT-qPCR studies indicate...
