Systems Analysis and Engineering of Biofuel Production in Chromochloris zofingiensis, an Emerging Model Green Alga

Technical Report Niyogi, Krishna K. ; Blaby-Haas, Crysten ; Boyle, Nanette ; ...

As a core component of a sustainable bioeconomy, microalgae have the potential to become a major source of biofuels and bioproducts. These photosynthetic microbes utilize solar energy, grow quickly, consume CO₂, and can be cultivated on non-arable land. However, there are presently considerable practical limitations in the photosynthetic production of biofuels from microalgae, resulting in low productivity and high costs. Algae are a strikingly diverse group and understudied algae can reveal new opportunities for biofuels. Integrative systems biology and engineering of emerging model systems are needed to expand the possibilities of microbial production of biofuels and bioproducts. Our long-term goalmore »« less

Regulation of Oxygenic Photosynthesis during Trophic Transitions in the Green Alga Chromochloris zofingiensis

Journal Article Roth, Melissa S. ; Gallaher, Sean D. ; Westcott, Daniel J. ; ... - The Plant Cell

Light and nutrients are critical regulators of photosynthesis and metabolism in plants and algae. Many algae have the metabolic flexibility to grow photoautotrophically, heterotrophically, or mixotrophically. Here, we describe reversible glucose-dependent repression/activation of oxygenic photosynthesis in the unicellular green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis. We observed rapid and reversible changes in photosynthesis, in the photosynthetic apparatus, in thylakoid ultrastructure, and in energy stores including lipids and starch. Following glucose addition in the light, C. zofingiensis shuts off photosynthesis within days and accumulates large amounts of commercially relevant bioproducts, including triacylglycerols (TAGs) and the high-value nutraceutical ketocarotenoid astaxanthin, while increasing culture biomass.
