Increased lipid production by heterologous expression of AtWRI1 transcription factor in Nannochloropsis salina

Abstract Background Genetic engineering of microalgae is necessary to produce economically feasible strains for biofuel production. Current efforts are focused on the manipulation of individual metabolic genes, but the outcomes are not sufficiently stable and/or efficient for large-scale production...
