University of California San Diego will use Department of Energy funds to perform two tasks: Task 1: Transcriptomic analysis of environmentally triggered lipid accumulation in two species of diatom algae; Task 2: Metabolic engineering of the cell to alter carbon partitioning for abundant lipid accumulation coupled with high biomass accumulation.
