RECOMBINANT MICROALGAL CELL AND METHOD OF PRODUCING LIPIDS USING SAID CELL

摘要

The invention provides a microalgal cell containing 10% or more of its dry cell weight as lipid, and comprising an exogenous gene encoding a sucrose invertase enzyme. The invention also provides a method of producing a lipid using such a cell, the method comprising culturing a population of the microalgae in a culture medium comprising a fixed carbon source.
