Comparison of physiological patterns and genetic expression of Chlorella sorokiniana from different environmental regions with nitrogen deprivation. Chlorella sorokiniana

Nitrogen (N)-deprivation plays important role for lipid accumulation in microalgae. Here we report the comparative physiological and genetic analyses of Chlorella sorokiniana strains from different environmental regions of arctic glacier (Chlorella-Arc), desert soil (Chlorella-Des) and temperate native lake (Chlorella-Nat) in response to N-deprivation, for screening the optimal strain for biodiesel production.
