Introduction:

Microalgae are considered to be promising alternative feedstock in biofuel production. Although many studies focus on the accumulation of carbohydrates and lipids in different microalgae, few uncover the regulating mechanism of Nitrogen (N) deficiency. This paper investigates the growth, photosynthetic abilities, carbohydrate, lipid and protein content in the Microcystis aeruginosa cells under different N levels, and analyzed the transcriptome to uncover the response mechanism to N deficiency.
