| Description |
Schizochytrium sp. is the best natural resource for omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. We report a high-quality genome sequence of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21, which has a 63 Mb genome size, with a contig N50 of 2.67 Mb and 6,838 protein-coding genes. Phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses revealed that DHA-producing Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium strains were highly similar and possessed similar genes. Analysis of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) for LC-PUFAs production results in the annotation of all genes in map00062 and map01212. A gene cluster and ten ORFs related to PKS pathway were found in the genome. |
