Combined Metabolome and Lipidome analyses for in-depth characterization of lipid accumulation in the DHA producing Aurantiochytrium sp. T66
Bartosova, Zdenka; Ertesvåg, Helga; Nyfløt, Eirin Lishaugen; Kämpe, Kristoffer; Aasen, Inga Marie; Bruheim, Per (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Thraustochytrids are marine heterotrophic microorganisms known for their potential to accumulate docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched lipids. There have been many attempts to improve thraustochytrid DHA bioprocesses, ... -
Draft genome sequence of the docosahexaenoic acid producing thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. T66
Liu, Bin; Ertesvåg, Helga; Aasen, Inga Marie; Vadstein, Olav; Brautaset, Trygve; Heggeset, Tonje Marita Bjerkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Thraustochytrids are unicellular, marine protists, and there is a growing industrial interest in these organisms, particularly because some species, including strains belonging to the genus Aurantiochytrium, accumulate ... -
Identification of Regulatory Genes and Metabolic Processes Important for Alginate Biosynthesis in Azotobacter vinelandii by Screening of a Transposon Insertion Mutant Library
Mærk, Mali; Jakobsen, Øyvind Mejdell; Sletta, Håvard; Klinkenberg, Geir; Tøndervik, Anne; Ellingsen, Trond Erling; Valla, Svein; Ertesvåg, Helga (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Azotobacter vinelandii produces the biopolymer alginate, which has a wide range of industrial and pharmaceutical applications. A random transposon insertion mutant library was constructed from A. vinelandii ATCC12518Tc in ... -
Lipid and DHA-production in Aurantiochytrium sp. – Responses to nitrogen starvation and oxygen limitation revealed by analyses of production kinetics and global transcriptomes
Heggeset, Tonje Marita Bjerkan; Ertesvåg, Helga; Liu, Bin; Ellingsen, Trond Erling; Vadstein, Olav; Aasen, Inga Marie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Thraustochytrids of the genera Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium accumulate oils rich in the essential, marine n3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA production in Aurantiochytrium sp T66 was studied with the aim ... -
Mapping global effects of the anti-sigma factor MucA in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 through genome-scale metabolic modeling
Borgos, Sven Even F.; Bordel, Sergio; Sletta, Håvard; Ertesvåg, Helga; Jakobsen, Øyvind Mejdell; Bruheim, Per; Ellingsen, Trond Erling; Nielsen, Jens; Valla, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Alginate is an industrially important polysaccharide, currently produced commercially by harvesting of marine brown sea-weeds. The polymer is also synthesized as an exo-polysaccharide by bacteria belonging to the genera ... -
A non-canonical Δ9-desaturase synthesizing palmitoleic acid identified in the thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. T66.
Rau, E-Ming; Aasen, Inga Marie; Ertesvåg, Helga (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Thraustochytrids are oleaginous marine eukaryotic microbes currently used to produce the essential omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3). To improve the production of this essential fatty acid by strain ... -
Overexpression of two new acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2-like acyl-CoA:sterol acyltransferases enhanced squalene accumulation in Aurantiochytrium limacinum
Rau, E-Ming; Bartosova, Zdenka; Kristiansen, Kåre Andre; Aasen, Inga Marie; Bruheim, Per; Ertesvåg, Helga (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic marine eukaryotes known to accumulate large amounts of triacylglycerols, and they also synthesize terpenoids like carotenoids and squalene, which all have an increasing market demand. ... -
Strain Construction and Process Development for Efficient Recombinant Production of Mannuronan C-5 Epimerases in Hansenula polymorpha
Tøndervik, Anne; Aune, Randi; Degelmann, Adelheid; Piontek, Michael; Ertesvåg, Helga; Skjåk-Bræk, Gudmund; Sletta, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Alginates are linear polysaccharides produced by brown algae and some bacteria and are composed of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G). Alginate has numerous present and potential future applications within ...
