Sustainable microbial and microalgal production of omega-3 fatty acids: cultivation strategies, sustainable substrates, and waste valorization
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are important bioactive lipids that play critical roles in cardiovascular, neurological, visual, and immune health. Although humans can synthesize EPA and DHA from shorter-chain precursors, endogeno...
