Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Effect of Soybean Oil on Lipid Metabolism in Mucor circinelloides WJ11 by Metabolomic AnalysisCaili Sun, Aabid Manzoor Shah, Junhuan Yang et al.Oleaginous fungus Mucor circinelloides utilizes different carbon sources associated with sustainable production of lipids, using soybean oil as carbon source, the fungus accumulated more intracellular lipids. Nonetheless, the metabolic changes in M. circinelloides upon vegetable oil as main carbon source have not been yet reported. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the metabolomics of M. circinelloides WJ11 cultivated in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2021 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesImproved SDA Production in High Lipid Accumulating Strain of Mucor circinelloides WJ11 by Genetic ModificationJunhuan Yang, Md. Ahsanul Kabir Khan, Sergio López-García et al.Stearidonic Acid (SDA; 18:4, n-3) is a ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid which is nutritionally important and has pharmaceutical applications. Hence, scientists are trying to construct SDA producing oleaginous microorganisms by genetic modification. Two enzymes, Delta-6 Desaturase (D6D) and ω-3 desaturase catalyze the reactions to produce SDA from Linoleic Acid (LA; 18:2, n-6). But the key enzyme, ω-3 desaturase converts LA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Mar 2020 · 8,242 accessesView PDFCite
