Effects of temperature and temperature shift on docosahexaenoic acid production by the marine microalge Crypthecodinium cohnii

The effects of temperature and temperature shift on the fatty acid composition and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22∶6n−3) content and productivity of the marine microalga Crypthecodinium cohnii ATCC 30556 were investigated. The microalga grew well over the entire range of temperatures (15–30°C) stu…
