Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImproved 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 · 8,240 accessesView PDFCite
