摘要：Microalgal oils, depending on their degree of unsaturation, can be utilized as either nutritional supplements or fuels; thus, a feedstock with genetically designed and tunable degree of unsaturation is desirable to maximize process efficiency and product versatility. Systematic profiling of ex vivo （in yeast）, in vitro, and in vivo activities of type-2 diacylglycerol acyltransferases in Nannochloropsis oceanica （NoDGAT2s or NoDGTTs）, via reverse genetics, revealed that NoDGAT2A prefers saturated fatty acids （SFAs）, NoDGAT2D prefers monounsaturated fatty acids （MUFAs）, and NoDGAT2C exhibits the strongest activity toward polyunsaturated fatty acids （PUFAs）. As NoDGAT2A, 2C, and 2D originated from the green alga, red alga, and eukaryotic host ancestral participants of secondary endosymbiosis, respectively, a mecha- nistic model of oleaginousness was unveiled, in which the indigenous and adopted NoDGAT2s formulated functional complementarity and specific transcript abundance ratio that underlie a rigid SFA：MUFA：PUFA hierarchy in triacylglycerol （TAG）. By rationally modulating the ratio of NoDGAT2A＇：2C^D transcripts, a bank of N. oceanica strains optimized for nutritional supplement or fuel production with a wide range of degree of unsaturation were created, in which proportion of SFAs, MUFAs, and PUFAs in TAG varied by 1.3-, 3.7-, and 11.2-fold, respectively. This established a novel strategy to simultaneously improve productivity and quality of oils from industrial microalgae.
