Abstract excerpt
Microbial production of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) offers a sustainable alternative to fish oil, yet achieving high titers in Schizochytrium sp. remains challenging due to its inherent preference for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthesis. In this study, a high-EPA producing mutant, Schizochytrium sp. SCNA9, was successfully isolated using a combined multi-round mutagenesis and screening strategy, with its...
