Novel Genome Editing Platform for Industrial Oleaginous Microalgae

Microalgae are organisms that can use sunlight to capture and assimilate atmospheric CO_2.They then store the solar energy and CO_2 in the form of energy-dense molecules such as triacylglycerol(TAG),which can be readily converted to oil.Therefore,the interest in microalgae as a scalable solution for clean fuel production and CO_2 sequestration has been growing.
