Microalgae can convert CO2 and solar energy to oil, which provide a potential solution for clean-energy production and value-added utilization of CO2. For the key question of enhancing the efficiency of microalgal carbon fixation, the Single-Cell Center at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a novel microalgal feedstock development strategy towards superior carbon fixation, which significantly elevated the productivity of microalgal biomass and lipids. This new work was published on Algal Research.
