Oil accumulation in the model green alga <it>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</it>: characterization, variability between common laboratory strains and relationship with starch reserves

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>When cultivated under stress conditions, many microalgae species accumulate both starch and oil (triacylglycerols). The model green microalga <it>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii </it>has recently emerged as a model to test gene...
