— There is currently keen interest in cultivating eukaryotic algae as sources of triacylglycerides (TAGs) to be converted into diesel and jet transportation fuel. Recent studies from numerous labs have shown that when stressed by nitrogen (N)-starvation, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii produce TAGs that ca…
