Edible oils from microalgae: insights in TAG accumulation
How microalgae store oils as fat molecules
AI simplified
Abstract
Increasing triacylglycerol (TAG) productivity and content is essential for microalgae to serve as a sustainable source of edible oils.
- Microalgae have potential as a sustainable alternative to common vegetable oils.
- Understanding lipid metabolism in microalgae is crucial for enhancing TAG accumulation.
- Recent developments focus on both metabolic engineering techniques and cultivation strategies to boost oil production.
- This overview discusses current knowledge and future directions in microalgal oil production.
