Over-production of dihomo gamma linolenic acid by a mutant strain of Parietochloris incisa

摘要

The present invention is primarily directed to a mutant strain of Parietochloris incisa, characterized in comprising a substantially reduced intracellular concentration of arachidonic acid (AA) together with a substantially increased intracellular concentration of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid 20:3w6 (DGLA).
