High-throughput insertional mutagenesis reveals novel targets for enhancing lipid accumulation in Nannochloropsis oceanica

Christian Sudfeld et al.

Summary: Nannochloropsis oceanica is a promising microalga platform, but current lipid yields are too low for economic feasibility. This study aimed to discover genes associated with increased neutral lipid content, with a promising mutant (HLM23) showing increased lipid content, enhanced photosynthetic performance, and no growth impairment. Transcriptome analysis revealed upregulation of genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis, glycolysis, and the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle in HLM23. Insights gained from this study can be used for future genetic engineering strategies to improve lipid productivity of Nannochloropsis.
