摘要

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), one of the most important ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, has attracted great attention in recent years because of its significant health benefits for human beings. Traditionally, DHA is obtained from marine fish oil, but this approach depends on marine fishing and has suffered a dramatic fall in the past few years due to overfishing and climate change, which cannot meet the increasing market demand. Microbial DHA production by oleaginous microorganisms has become the current research hotspot. Schizochytrium sp., a heterotrophic thraustochytrid, has become one of the most promising DHA producers because of its safety, fast growth and high DHA content. However, industrial DHA production by Schizochytrium sp. is severely hindered by the high production cost. Many regulation strategies have been developed to enhance DHA production through fermentation optimization and metabolic regulation. In this review, recent advances in metabolic regulation for enhancing DHA production by Schizochytrium sp. are reviewed, from the aspects of key lipogenic enzymes, precursors, transcription factors, lipid peroxidation, transport of non-esterified DHA and stress environment.
