Starch Overproduction by Means of Algae
Vilém Zachleder,Irena Brányiková +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of the state of knowledge of starch production as an ultimate energy reserve in algae and includes a survey of recent discoveries on controls that direct the metabolism of algal cells towards starch hyper-accumulation with the aim of providing starch-enriched biomass for the production of bioethanol as a biofuel of the future.
