- *Abstract
-
In this invention we report methods by which various strains of microalgae are manipulated. From these manipulations, the microalgae can be made to: 1) overproduce two principal building blocks fro biofuels feedstocks, starch and TAG; 2) overaccumulate lipids or 3) accumulate significantly higher levels of both lipids and starch, while the cells are dividing. The methods do lead attenuated rates of photosynthesis and acetate uptake, the overall effect is a dramatic carbon production accumulation.
