Genome scale metabolic reconstruction of Chlorella variabilis for exploring its metabolic potential for biofuels

•Compartmentalized genome scale metabolic model was reconstructed for Chlorella variabilis.•The model, iAJ526, was reconstructed with 1455 reactions, 1236 metabolites and 526 genes.•Growth rates predicted by the model were in fair agreement with experimental results.•Red and blue light wavelengths w...
