Genetically engineered microalgae for enhanced bioactive compounds
Open accessAbstract
Microalgae are naturally rich in carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, pigments, minerals, and vitamins. These metabolites make them a renewable and sustainable source of bioactive compounds in nutraceuticals, food, feed for aquaculture, and biofuels. Genetic engineering of the existing strains remains crucial in utilising and upscaling microalgae-based biorefineries. CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs, and genetic transformation are the established tools utilised in microalgae genetic engineering. The common genetic transformation methods include electroporation, particle bombardment (biolistics), glass-bead agitation, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Expression vectors and promoters are the prerequisites in genetic engineering. The present accessibility of genome sequences and omics datasets from a diverse array of microalgae species holds promise for catalyzing strategic progress in developing a superior microalgae strain suitable for numerous applications. This paper describes the genetic engineering to enhance microalgae biomass and metabolite production, particularly lipids. The advantages and precautions to fulfil the future application of genetically engineered microalgae are also reviewed and addressed.

Integration of microalgal biotechnology unfolds along two convergent fronts: genetic improvement of strains to enhance the yield of biomolecules of interest, and application of these biological advances in scalable operational regimes with cultivation intensification through higher cell density and integration into existing industrial flows.
“This integration unfolds primarily along two convergent fronts: (i) genetic improvement of strains to enhance the yield of biomolecules of interest—such as proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and pigments—through tools ranging from targeted mutagenesis to synthetic biology and metabolic optimization; and (ii) the application of these biological advances in scalable operational regimes, such as”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
