Microbial cell factories for gamma-linolenic acid biosynthesis: metabolic engineering, downstream processing, and future perspectives

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is a vital anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acid, yet its traditional supply from plant seeds such as evening primrose and borage is constrained by low yields and climatic instability. Consequently, microbial cell factories present a sustainable...
