Biosynthetic mechanism of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in Thraustochytrium sp. 26185.
Thraustochytrium, a unicellular marine protist, has been used as a commercial source of very long chain PUFAs (VLCPUFAs) such as DHA (22:6n-3). Our recent work indicates coexistence of a Δ4-desaturation-dependent pathway (aerobic) and a polyketide synthase-like PUFA synthase pathway (anaerobic) to synthesize the fatty acids in Thraustochytrium sp. 26185. Heterologous expression of the Thraustoc...
متن کاملProduction of docosahexaenoic acid by Aurantiochytrium sp. ATCC PRA-276
The high costs and environmental concerns associated with using marine resources as sources of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have prompted searches for alternative sources of such oils. Some microorganisms, among them members of the genus Aurantiochytrium, can synthesize large amounts of these biocompounds. However, various parameters that affect the polyunsaturated fatty acids produ...
متن کاملDraft genome sequence of the docosahexaenoic acid producing thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. T66
Thraustochytrids are unicellular, marine protists, and there is a growing industrial interest in these organisms, particularly because some species, including strains belonging to the genus Aurantiochytrium, accumulate high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Aurantiochytrium sp. T66 (ATCC PRA-276), with a size of 43 Mbp, and 11,683 predicted prote...
متن کاملComparison of Cell Disruption Methods for Improving Lipid Extraction from Thraustochytrid Strains
Lipid extraction is an integral part of biodiesel production, as it facilitates the release of fatty acids from algal cells. To utilise thraustochytrids as a potential source for lipid production. We evaluated the extraction efficiency of various solvents and solvent combinations for lipid extraction from Schizochytrium sp. S31 and Thraustochytrium sp. AMCQS5-5. The maximum lipid extraction yie...
متن کاملThe Investigation of the Effects of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid on Cultured Human Airway Epithelial Cells
Fatty acid composition has an important role in cellular structure and function. Inflammatory behavior of the airway epithelial cells can be changed due to the manipulation of their fatty acid content, which has a critical importance in asthma. The objective of the present study was to determine the fatty acid composition of human airway epithelial cells after co-culturing with eicosapentaenoic...
