Carbon sources are key factors in lipid biosynthesis in microalgae. The supply of exogenous inorganic carbon or organic carbon influences lipid accumulation in microalgae under stress conditions. However, the effect of different carbon availability on glycerolipid metabolism, especially triacylglycerol (TAG) metabolism in microalgae remains unknown. Chlamydomonas starch-free mutant BAFJ5 is a model system for studying TAG metabolism due to its hyperaccumulation of TAG.
