Abstract
⺠N deprivation induces starch and triacylglycerol accumulation in green microalgae. ⺠Chlorophyll and protein contents are considerably reduced. ⺠Protein turnover may provide carbon intermediates/energy for TAG synthesis. ⺠N depletion also affects the expression of lipid biosynthesis genes. ⺠Anabolic and catabolic processes underlie microalgal production of biofuel precursors.
