    Eicosapentaenoic acid release from the red alga Pachymeniopsis lanceolata by enzymatic degradation

    Forty-eight species of seaweeds from Japanese waters were screened for the valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The eight species that contained the highest levels of these compoun...

    Enhanced eicosapentaenoic acid production by Navicula saprophila

    Changes in the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content of Navicula saprophila grown photoautotrophically and mixotrophically with the addition of acetate were examined in terms of their growth progress. Among four...
