Stress-Induced Production of Bioactive Oxylipins in Marine Microalgae.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae, stemming from a complex evolutionary lineage, possess a metabolic composition influenced by their evolutionary journey. They have the capacity to generate diverse polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), akin to those found in terrestrial plants and oily fish. Also, because of their numerous double bonds, these metabolic compounds are prone to oxidation processes, leading to the creation of valuable bioactive molecules called oxylipins. Moreover, owing to their adaptability across various environments, microalgae offer an intriguing avenue for biosynthesizing these compounds. Thus, modifying the culture conditions could potentially impact the profiles of oxylipins. Indeed, the accumulation of oxylipins in microalgae is subject to the influence of growth conditions, nutrient availab
