Acclimation of photosynthesis and lipids biosynthesis to prolonged nitrogen and phosphorus limitation in Nannochloropsis gaditana

Microalgae represent a potential sustainable source of molecules and materials and the improvement of the knowledge of their metabolic regulation is essential to maximize their potential. Nutrients deprivation stimulates the accumulation of reserve lipids, triacylglycerols but also inhibits photosynthesis with a negative impact on biomass production and therefore overall productivity.
