Nitrogen Starvation Enhances the Production of Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in <i>Aurantiochytrium</i> sp. PKU#SW8 by Regulating Key Biosynthetic Genes

Nitrogen deprivation is known to improve lipid accumulation in microalgae and thraustochytrids. However, the patterns of fatty acid production and the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) under nitrogen starvation remain largely unknown for...
