An alternative to fish oils: Metabolic engineering of oil-seed crops to produce omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

TL;DR: This review will outline the recent achievements in demonstrating the production of omega-3 VLC-PUFAs in transgenic plants, and consider how these enriched oils will allow the development of nutritionally-enhanced food products, suitable either for direct human ingestion or for use as an animal feedstuff.

Fatty Acid Composition of Unicellular Strains of Blue-Green Algae

TL;DR: The fatty acids of 34 strains of unicellular blue-green algae provisionally assigned to the genera Synechococcus, Aphanocapsa, Gloeocapa, Microcystis, and Chlorogloea by Stanier et al. have been chemically characterized and divided into series of compositional groups based upon the highest degree of unsaturation of the major cellular fatty acids.
