Fatty acids profiling from an antarctic microalga, pseudococcomyxa sp
The main source of valuable fatty acids such as eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that are important for human health are from marine fish. However, fatty acids derived from fish have many downsides such as contaminated with environmental pollution. Plus, the marine fish sour...
