This study functionally characterizes algal CER1/3 proteins in yeast, showing they can mediate hydrocarbon biosynthesis and that mutations impair this function, supporting the evolution of plant CER1/CER3 complexes from algal bifunctional enzymes.

This paper describes an E. coli strain engineered to produce heptane using FAP and a thioesterase, achieving a productivity of 22 mg.L-1.day-1 under blue light.

This study investigates the interaction between the CO2 concentrating mechanism and photorespiration in green algae under low CO2 conditions, finding that photorespiration remains active and glycolate excretion mitigates toxicity.
