MANIPULATION OF MICROALGAL LIPID METABOLIC PATHWAY BY ALTERING CAMP SIGNALING PATHWAYS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for adjusting the microalgae lipid metabolism by treating the chemical substance called 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) which affects the cAMP signaling. The present invention adjusts the cAMP signaling process through the IBMX treatment to up-regulate the microalgae lipid metabolism. The signaling can be applied to various types of microalgae instead of one type of strains. The cAMP signaling system adjusting method enables the products of the microalgae lipid metabolism to be industrially useful.
