ExxonMobil and Synthetic Genomics double lipid production in algae species without inhibiting growth

Green Car Congress

The team established a proof-of-concept approach that resulted in the algae doubling its lipid fraction of cellular carbon compared to the parent—while sustaining growth. Our work with Synthetic Genomics continues to be an important part of our broader research into lower-emission technologies to reduce the risk of climate change.
