脂质是主要的亚细胞成分之一，发挥着许多基本功能。除了它们的生理作用外，储存在生物质中的油是各种生物技术应用的有用商品，包括食品，化学原料和燃料。由于它们在农艺、经济和社会方面的重要性，脂质一直是人们深入研究的对象。目前的主要工作是增加细胞生物量的能量密度，和/或创造适合特定应用的设计油。本章涵盖了人们需要了解的关于脂质的一些基本方面：定义、结构、功能、代谢，并重点介绍了现代脂质分析工具的发展和生物技术应用的主要当前工程方法。本介绍性章节旨在作为本书所有后续章节概述当前在脂质及其代谢特定领域的发展的底漆。
Lipids are one of the major subcellular components, and play numerous essential functions. As well as their physiological roles, oils stored in biomass are useful commodities for a variety of biotechnological applications including food, chemical feedstocks, and fuel. Due to their agronomic as well as economic and societal importance, lipids have historically been subjected to intensive studies. Major current efforts are to increase the energy density of cell biomass, and/or create designer oils suitable for specific applications. This chapter covers some basic aspects of what one needs to know about lipids: definition, structure, function, metabolism and focus is also given on the development of modern lipid analytical tools and major current engineering approaches for biotechnological applications. This introductory chapter is intended to serve as a primer for all subsequent chapters in this book outlining current development in specific areas of lipids and their metabolism.
