Production of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid by metabolic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Inactivation of the peroxisome biogenesis gene PEX10 was crucial in obtaining high EPA yields and may increase the yields of other commercially desirable lipid-related products and provides a sustainable source of EPA.
Abstract
Metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica greatly enhances yields of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid.

Production of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids by Polyketide Synthases in Both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

TL;DR: In this article, pathways for PUFA synthesis are described that do not require desaturation and elongation of saturated fatty acids and are catalyzed by polyketide synthases (PKSs).
