Microalgae—which are major contributors to global photosynthesis and primary productivity—serve as promising chassis cells in synthetic biology. In a study published in Plant Communications, ...

A group of researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil have grown microalgae under controlled conditions in a laboratory in order to use their metabolites, especially lipids, ...

Engineers have developed a technique to repartition carbon resources from carbohydrates to lipids in microalgae. It is hoped that this method can be applied to biofuel production. A ...

Biofuel has been touted as the cornerstone of a decarbonised future, but the complex supply chains and finite availability of waste lipids – historically the favoured feedstock – means that the sector ...
