September 1, reporters from China Kexue Yuan Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and the process was informed that the Institute successfully developed the production of high purity DHA "cell factory"
.

According to reports, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), commonly known as "brain gold", is an important component of phospholipids in brain and retina tissues.
It has broad development and application prospects as medicines and health foods
.

The cost of algal oil DHA mainly includes fermentation cost and oil processing and purification cost, which are closely related to the purity and yield of DHA in Schizochytrium algae oil
.

In Keyuan Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and process metabolomics research group has long been committed genetically engineered mechanism and Engineering Research Schizochytrium metabolism, increase the purity of DHA in their lipid engineered by Schizochytrium And yield, thereby improving the product quality of algae oil DHA and reducing the production cost of algae oil DHA
