Method Development Progress in Genetic Engineering of Thraustochytrids [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2021 Thraustochytrids are unicellular, heterotrophic marine eukaryotes. Some species are known to store surplus carbon as intracellular lipids, and these also contain the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
