Transcriptomic Survey of How Acetate Addition Affected the Growth in <i>Nannochloropsis oceanica</i> (Suda & Miyashita) R. E. Lee.

ABSTRACT: Nannochloropsis oceanica (Suda & Miyashita) R. E. Lee holds considerable potential for the production of high-value compounds, including pigments, lipids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Sodium acetate, a widely used carbon source in microbial cultivation, is both cost-effective and efficient. Although it has been reported to enhance biomass production in various microalgae, its effects on metabolic pathways differ substantially across species. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional responses of N. oceanica to sodium acetate supplementation using high-throughput mRNA sequencing. Sodium acetate significantly promoted growth but elicited a distinct metabolic reprogramming in contrast to patterns commonly observed in other microalgae. We identified 747 differentiall
