Overexpression of GmDof4 from Soybean Significantly Enhances the Lipid Content of Chlorella ellipsoidea
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here, we transferred GmDof4 from soybean (Glycine max), a transcription factor affecting content of lipid in Arabidopsis, into C. ellipsoidea and found that the expression of GmDof4 significantly enhanced the lipid content by maximum 57.21%, shifted the content of different fatty acids, but did not affect the growth of the host cells. Using the Solexa/Illumina-based RNA-Seq analysis, we found expression of GmDof4 significantly regulates 1,076 genes, of which 754 genes were up-regulated and 322 genes were down-regulated, under mixotrophic culture. This study provides a new way to improve the lipid of microalgae. The GmDof4 transgenic strain Dof4-1 and control (pCK transgenic line CK-1) were cultured in liquid antibiotic-free Endo medium at 25M-bM-^DM-^C under illumination (100 M-NM-
