Microalgae have great potential as feedstock to produce next-generation biofuels. The scarceness of genomic level information, however, prevents the rational de novo microalgae strain design. The principal objective of this research was the reconstruction of triacylglycerides metabolism of three oleaginous microalgae species (Ankystrodesmus sp., Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.) promisory for sustainable production of biodiesel in the Peruvian Amazon. In total from 5.11 to 5.52 Gb of genetic information and from 5.0 x 107 to 5.4 x 107 sequences of 100 bp were generated. After assembly, a total of 38,414 unigenes for Ankistrodesmus sp., 61,171 unigenes for Scenedesmus sp. and 86,927 unigenes for Chlorella sp. were produced. Based on the KEGG pathway assignment, the fatty acids and the triacylglycerol biosynthesis pathways were reconstructed. Our results demonstrate that the synergy among high-throughput sequencing technologies and appropriate bioinformatic tools provides a fast, low-cost, and effective approach to generate invaluable functional genomic information in non-model microalgae species, like oleaginous microalgae from the Peruvian Amazon.
