Regulating Root Fungal Community Using Mortierella alpina for Fusarium oxysporum Resistance in Panax ginseng

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant-associated microbes play important roles in plant health and disease. Mortierella is often found in the plant rhizosphere, and its possible functions are not well known, especially in medical plants.

Application of a ω-3 Desaturase with an Arachidonic Acid Preference to Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpina

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
In the industrial oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina, the arachidonic acid (AA; C20:4; ω-6) fraction can reach 50% of the total fatty acids (TFAs) in vivo.

Applications of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase for Triacylglycerol Production in Mortierella alpina

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Triacylglycerol (TG) with high-value long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids is beneficial to human health; consequently, there is an urgent need to broaden its sources due to the current growing demand.

Transcriptomic Characterizations of the Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Lipid Production and Composition in Mortierella alpina in Response to Cold Stress

Agronomy, 2022
Cold stress causes changes in the lipid composition of Mortierella alpina. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of M. alpina in response to cold stress, transcriptome analyses were performed on three groups of M. alpina cultured at (1) 25 °C,

Genome characterization of the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Mortierella alpina is an oleaginous fungus which can produce lipids accounting for up to 50% of its dry weight in the form of triacylglycerols. It is used commercially for the production of arachidonic acid.

Ice nucleation activity in the widespread soil fungus Mortierella alpina [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Biological residues in soil dust are a potentially strong source of atmospheric ice nuclei (IN). So far, however, the abundance, diversity, sources, seasonality, and role of biological – in particular, fungal – IN in soil dust have not been characterized.

Effect of Sea Salt and Taro Waste on Fungal Mortierella alpina Cultivation for Arachidonic Acid-Rich Lipid Production

Fermentation, 2022
Arachidonic acid (ARA), an important polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), acts as a precursor for eicosanoid hormones, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and other biological substances in human and animal bodies. Mortierella alpina is considered to be a
