Long-chain fatty acid producing algae and method for producing long-chain fatty acid using the same

摘要

A method of developing a long-chain fatty acid raw material derived from an organism that can be stably supplied and has a large amount of accumulated long-chain fatty acid, and using it to produce specific long-chain fatty acids easily, inexpensively and in large quantities Is to provide. Provided is a cysteine-requiring mutant of a Chlorellaceae alga that accumulates a large amount of long-chain fatty acids in cells by culturing in a nutrient-stressed medium such as cysteine.
