RECOMBINANT MICROBIAL HOST CELLS FOR HIGH EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION

摘要

Engineered strains of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica are disclosed herein that are capable of producing microbial oil comprising greater than 25 weight percent of eicosapentaenoic acid ["EPA"], an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, measured as a weight percent of dry cell weight.
