Castor oil contains approximately 90% ricinoleic acid (RA) which is stored mainly in the form of tri‐ricinoleic acid containing triacylglycerols (TAG). Ricinoleate is synthesized from oleate (18:1n‐9) esterified to the sn‐2 position of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) catalyzed by...

Abstract: Wax synthase (WS) catalyzes the last step in wax ester biosynthesis in green plants. Two unrelated subfamilies of WS including the bifunctional acyltransferase and plant-like WS have been reported, but the latter is largely uncharacterized in microalgae. Here, we functionally...
