Cis -13, 16-docosadienoic acid (DDA) is an omega -6 polyunsaturated fatty acid with great potential for application in medicine and health. Using microbial cell factories for DDA production is considered a viable alternative to extracting DDA from plant seeds. In this study, using Yarrowia lipolytica Po1f ( Delta ku70) as a chassis, firstly, the adaptation of three elongases in Po1f ( Delta ku70) were explored. Secondly, the DDA biosynthetic pathway was redesigned, resulting in a DDA content of 0.046 % of total fatty acids (TFAs). Thirdly, through the " push-pull " strategy, the DDA content in...
