Production of docosahexaenoic acid by Aurantiochytrium sp. ATCC PRA-276

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract The high costs and environmental concerns associated with using marine resources as sources of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have prompted searches for alternative sources of such oils. Some microorganisms, among them members of the genus Aurantiochytrium, can synthesize large amounts...

Effect of malate on docosahexaenoic acid production from Schizochytrium sp. B4D1

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (1), 2016
Background: Malate involves in the citrate/malate and transhydrogenase cycles to provide precursors for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthesis. The optimal strategy was investigated for increasing DHA production in Schizochytrium species during fermentation. Results: DHA production increased by 47% and rea...
