Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis Uncovers Genes Responsible for the DHA Enhancement in the Mutant <i>Aurantiochytrium</i> sp.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a <i>n</i>-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, is critical for physiological activities of the human body. Marine eukaryote <i>Aurantiochytrium</i> sp. is considered a promising source for DHA production. Mutational studies have shown that ult...
