Abstract excerpt
Microalgae are promising hosts for sustainable aviation fuel production due to their rapid growth and their advantage of not competing with agricultural crops. The oleaginous diatom Fistulifera solaris is notable for its exceptionally high lipid content. However, genetic engineering tools for this species remain limited, partly due to its allodiploid genome structure. Here, we report the successful development of...
