Unraveling metabolism underpinning biomass composition shift in <i>Scenedesmus obliquus</i> under simulated outdoor conditions using ¹³C-fluxomics.

ABSTRACT: To render the resulting biomass more attractive and amenable for utilization as the basis for low-carbon intensity bioproducts, single-celled algae need to be biochemically and metabolically poised to assimilate and store the delivered carbon in the fastest and most efficient manner. Accelerating biochemical carbon storage, as primarily carbohydrates or lipids, is critical to achieve the high carbon capture potential that is assigned to algae. To guide strain optimization and engineering for maximizing carbon capture and storage, it is essential to elucidate the link between carbon metabolism and biomass composition. Most published metabolomics work in algae remains largely restricted to ideal and simplified environmental conditions in model organisms, thereby limiting their translation to
