Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of Hydrocarbon Production in the Green Microalga Botryococcus braunii

Botryococcus braunii (Chlorophyta, Botryococcaceae) is a colony-forming green microalga that produces large amounts of liquid hydrocarbons, which can be converted into transportation fuels. While B. braunii has been well studied for the chemistry of the hydrocarbon production, very little is known a...
