Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMOLECULAR SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE FLUX OF LINOLEIC ACID INTO N-6 OR N-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN MICROORGANISMSMingxuan Wang, Jianxin Chen, Huaiyuan Zhang, Yuanda SongPolyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) of the n-6 and n-3 series play important roles in nutrition. Microorganisms are important sources of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids; however, most produce either n-6 or n-3 fatty acids as the major PUFAs and very few produce both. This differential production suggests that PUFAs metabolic pathway is strictly controlled in microorganisms. The major pathway of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2014 · 7,131 accessesView PDF Cite
