Production of eicosapentaenoic acid by application of a delta-6 desaturase with the highest ALA catalytic activity in algae

Abstract Dunaliella salina is a unicellular green alga with a high α-linolenic acid (ALA) level, but a low eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) level. In a previous analysis of the catalytic activity of delta 6 fatty acid desaturase (FADS6) from various species, FADS6 from Thalassiosira pseudonana (TpFADS6),...
