Biosynthesis of Lipids and Hydrocarbons in Algae

Open access

Abstract

Lipids function as important storage compounds to maintain cellular activities. Lipids store high reducing power and energy since those biosynthetic processes require high amount of reducing cofactors and ATP. Storage lipids do not cause any chemical effect on cellular activity such as osmolarity, pH and ion strength because of its hydrophobicity. Membrane lipids such as phospholipids, carotenoids, and cholesterols play a housekeeping role. In addition, some of lipids function as protein modifiers or signaling molecules.

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.
