This study shows that TOR inhibition in algae increases amino acid levels through transcriptional activation of biosynthesis pathways and identifies a conserved transcription factor involved in nitrogen metabolism.

This paper designs a nutrient-replete medium for Chromochloris zofingiensis to support fast growth and high triacylglycerol accumulation by optimizing mineral concentrations based on cellular ionome data.

The paper develops a genome-scale metabolic model for Chromochloris zofingiensis and demonstrates its ability to predict fermentation products and metabolic activity under different growth conditions.
