Strategic Development of Aurantiochytrium sp. Mutants With Superior Oxidative Stress Tolerance and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity for Enhanced DHA Production Through Plasma Mutagenesis Coupled With Chemical Screening

Thraustochytrids, such as Aurantiochytrium and Schizochytrium, have been shown as a promising sustainable alternative to fish oil due to its ability to accumulate a high level of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from its total fatty acids. However, the low DHA volumetric yield by most of the wild type (WT...
