Transcriptomics aids in uncovering the metabolic shifts and molecular machinery of Schizochytrium limacinum during biotransformation of hydrophobic substrates to docosahexaenoic acid

Abstract Background Biotransformation of waste oil into value-added nutraceuticals provides a sustainable strategy. Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic marine protists and promising producers of omega (ω) fatty acids. Although the metabolic routes for the assimilation of hydrophilic carbon substrates...
