Abstract excerpt
Enhanced production of 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid (Mead acid, 20:3omega9) was attained with a mutant fungus, Mortierella alpina JT-180, derived from delta12 desaturation activity-defective and delta6 desaturation activity-enhanced M. alpina M209-7. Production of 20:3omega9 by JT-180 was 1.4 times...
