Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yu-Lei Jia"
- Yu-Lei Jia's recent research primarily focuses on the biotechnological production of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), utilizing microorganisms such as Schizochytrium sp. and Yarrowia lipolytica.
- Significant findings highlight the optimization of fermentation processes, the identification of key lipid synthesis genes, and the application of adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) techniques to enhance lipid production efficiency and stability in microbial strains.
- Jia's work also emphasizes the sustainable production of high-quality PUFAs as an alternative to traditional fish oil extraction, addressing the increasing market demand and environmental concerns related to overfishing.
