High-throughput optimization of organic carbon provision strategies enables enhanced arachidonic acid production in novel microalgae.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Microalgae are potential sustainable resources for the production of value-added chemicals that can be used as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and nutritional supplements. Arachidonic acid (ARA), a omega-6 fatty acid, plays a crucial role in infant development and immune response, and can be used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Demand for industrial-scale ARA production is continuously increasing because of its broad applicability. To address this demand, there has been a significant shift towards microorganism-based ARA production. To accelerate large-scale ARA production, it is crucial to select suitable strains and establish optimal culture conditions.

Results

Here, we isolated a novel microalga Lobosphaera incisa CFRC-1, a valuable strain that holds promise as a
