Microbial Lipid Biotechnology to Produce Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Trends in Biotechnology, 2020
Lipids rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids are important nutrients. They are traditionally extracted from animals and plants but alternatively can be obtained from microbes through microbial lipid biotechnology. To make this process more economical, apart from strain engineering, the next frontier is through bioprocess and downstream innovation.
