A scalable model for EPA and fatty acid production by Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Large-scale photoautotrophic production of microalgae has the potential to provide a sustainable supply of omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) for human and animal nutrition. This study presents a kinetic model for the EPA-producing microalga Phaeodactylu...
