Description

Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an a family member of omega-3 fatty acid. And docosahexenoic acid (DHA) is also an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, sperm, testicles and retina. The translation from EPA
to DHA needs the enzyme delta-5 fatty acid Elongace.

To construct engineering bacteria to make the production of DHA cheaper.
