13C-depletion and high concentration of carbon sources enhance carbon and nitrogen metabolism of Nannochloropsis oceanica

Key Points

• Enhanced carbon metabolism was observed in Nannochloropsis oceanica due to 13C-depletion.
• Nitrogen metabolism also increased significantly, suggesting a symbiotic improvement in nutrient assimilation.
• This analysis involved assessing metabolic changes under varying concentrations of carbon sources.
• These findings highlight how carbon source concentrations may optimize metabolic pathways in microalgae.
