Transcriptome sequencing and comparative analysis of Schizochytrium mangrovei PQ6 at different cultivation times

Objective The heterotrophic marine microalga, Schizochytrium mangrovei PQ6, synthesizes large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with possible nutritional applications. We characterized the transcriptome of S. mangrovei PQ6, focusing on lipid metabolism pathways throughout growth.
