Research ArticleOpen accessTwo Co-Expression Strategies for Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpinaXin Tang, Haiqin Chen, Xiaoke Zhang et al.The omega-3 long-chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) has beneficial effects on human health, leading to its use in health products and foods. The oleaginous microorganism Mortierella alpina has been used in the industrial production of Arachidonic Acid (AA). The omega-3 desaturase oPpFADS17 is a key enzyme in the bioconversion of AA to EPA from Phytophthora parasitica and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2019 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEnhanced Fatty Acid Production in Escherichia coli by Over-Expression of NADPH Generating EnzymesYuanda Song, Yong Q. Chen, Haiqin Chen et al.NADPH is an essential factor for Fatty Acid (FA) biosynthesis. The effect of NADPH generating enzymes [NADP+-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME), NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH), Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GPD) and 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase (PGD)] on FA biosynthesis was investigated in an engineered Escherichia coli BL21 △fadE/pTE. Among NADPH-generating enzymes, GPD and ICD increased total FA production by 60 and 16% respectively. Especially … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 8,578 accessesView PDF Cite
