The production of biodiesel from microalgae triglycerides is increasing, as this raw material is a more sustainable and advantageous alternative. However, so far we do not know the genes involved in the lipid metabolism of this species. Therefore, the objective was to develop a catalog of lipid metabolism genes of the microalgal species Ankistrodesmus sp. Scenedesmus sp. And Chlorella sp. These microalgae were cultured in Chu No. 10 medium with and without nitrogen under laboratory conditions. The evaluation was done in triplicate in a period of 7 days. Total lipids were extracted with Chloroform: methanol (2: 1) and determined by gravimetry. Total RNA was purified using a simple and efficient method. The identification of the enzymes that are related to the triglyceride metabolism was made from the assembly and annotation of the microalgal transcripts using various bioinformatic programs. The results indicate that Ankistrodesmus sp., Was the microalga that under conditions without nitrogen presented the maximum percentage of total lipids and Scenedesmus sp., Which showed greater production of biomass. Total RNA of excellent quality and quantity was obtained. Several enzymes encoding genes related to triglyceride metabolism were identified. Concluding that the evaluated microalgae constitute renewable raw materials for the production of biodiesel.
