Abstract: Long‐chain (≥C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC‐PUFAs) are physiologically important fatty acids for most animals, including humans. Although most LC‐PUFA production occurs in aquatic primary producers such as microalgae, recent research indicates the ability of certain… read more here.
