Lipid Remodeling Regulator 1 (LRL1) Upregulates Lipid Metabolism in <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i>

Caption

Microalgae are a promising source of biofuel feedstock, as they produce triacylglycerol (TAG) as a major storage lipid, especially under nutrient-depleted conditions. LRL1 was involved in the regulatory mechanism during the later stage of P-starvation in C. reinhardtii, as its regulation might depend on P-status, cell growth, and other factors.
