1. Microalgal triacylglycerols as feedstocks for biofuel production: perspectives and advancesThe Plant Journal · 2008 · 3,785 citations

   Microalgae represent an exceptionally diverse but highly specialized group of micro-organisms adapted to various ecological habitats. Many microalgae have the ability to produce substantial amounts (e.g. 20-50% dry cell weight) of triacylglycerols (TAG) as a storage lipid under photo-oxidative stress…

2. Genetic Engineering of Algae for Enhanced Biofuel ProductionEukaryotic Cell · 2010 · 1,144 citations

   There are currently intensive global research efforts aimed at increasing and modifying the accumulation of lipids, alcohols, hydrocarbons, polysaccharides, and other energy storage compounds in photosynthetic organisms, yeast, and bacteria through genetic engineering. Many improvements have been realized, including increased…
