Improved Tag Productivity by cm<Em>GPAT1</em> Overexpression

Caption

TAG productivity (mg/L/day) was drastically increased compared with that of the control, and increased with incubation time to 1.2 (representing a 29.9-fold increase compared with the control), 3.6 (a 24.7-fold increase), and 5.7 (a 56.1-fold increase) during the mid-exponential, late-exponential and after-exponential phases, respectively. These results indicate that GPAT1 overexpression improves TAG productivity, and the step catalyzed by GPAT1 is a suitable target for the improvement of TAG production in this alga.
