Lipid production by robust Aspergillus oryzae BCC7051 and a mathematical model describing its growth and lipid phenotypic traits.

Aims: To identify the promising oleaginous Aspergillus oryzae strain and leverage its lipid and biomass production through a mathematical model.

Methods And Results: Comparative profiling of the cell growth and total fatty acid (TFA) content among 13 strains of A. oryzae was performed to explore the discrimination in their lipid productions.

Systematic genome analysis of a novel arachidonic acid-producing strain uncovered unique metabolic traits in the production of acetyl-CoA-derived products in Mortierellale fungi.

The fungi in order Mortierellales are attractive producers for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Here, the genome sequencing and assembly of a novel strain of Mortierella sp. BCC40632 were done, yielding 65 contigs spanning of 49,964,116 total bases with predicted 12,149 protein-coding genes.
