Hacking an Algal Transcription Factor for Lipid Biosynthesis 

 -  Trends in Plant Science, 23(3), p.181-184, 2018 .
<br/><br/> Transcriptional engineering is a viable means for engineering microalgae to produce lipid, but it often results in a trade-off between production and growth. A recent study shows that engineering a single transcriptional regulator enables efficient carbon partitioning to lipid biosynthesis with high biomass productivity.
