| Research Abstract |
Oceanic oil-producing microalgae has been focused for solution of global warming and energy problems. Microalgae are highly biofuel producer than plant biomass, no competition with food and growing ocean water. A part of microalgae accumulate oil by stress conditions and its oil-contents are variety by species. We had conducted screening of highly oil-producing marine microalgae and discovered potentiality strains as biofuel. We have developed the metabolomics and lipidomics analysis method for oceanic microalge to elucidate mechanisms of oil-accumulation by photooxidation stress to improve oil-production.
