Cellulose and JbKOBITO 1 mediate the resistance of NaHCO₃-tolerant chlorella to saline-alkali stress.

ABSTRACT: Carbonate stress has profound impacts on both agricultural and industrial production. Although a number of salinity-tolerant genes have been reported and applied in plants, there is a lack of research on the role of cell wall-related genes in resistance to carbonate. Likewise, in industry, current strategies have not been able to more effectively address the conflict between stress-induced microalgal biofuel accumulation and microalgal growth inhibition. It is of great significance to study the adaptation mechanism of carbonate-tolerant organisms and to explore related genes for future genetic modification. In this study, the role of the cell wall in the NaHCO₃-tolerant chlorella JB17 was investigated. We found that JB17 possesses a relatively thick cell wall with a thickness of
