The paper identifies eight transcription factors involved in light stress acclimation in Chlamydomonas by analyzing a large RNA-seq dataset and validating their roles in photoprotection.

This paper engineers synthetic metabolic pathways in photosynthetic microorganisms to convert CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels, achieving up to 19-fold and 8-fold increases in alkane and alkene yields in cyanobacteria and algae, respectively.
