Why DHA is beneficial to Human?

With increase in awareness towards DHA
we concluded from our market research...
The DHA demand is expected to
increase nearly triple by 2032
[Fish]
Over 100 million tonnes of fishes
are caught every
year
for
fish
oil tablets to
meet the growing
demand
And global warming is posting a threat to the DHA availability
Another production method:
[Microalgae]
With the
Increase in Demand
and
Decrease in Supply
Market gap is identified!
There are lots of diseases that are
associated with DHA deficiency
We, therefore, are proposing an alternative pathway
to solve the market gap!
Our project employs more sustainable,
cost-effective alternative to replace the
current unethical and unsustainable
production method.
That is to use yeast,
our chassis Y. lipolytica to produce DHA !
We used HR (Homologous Recombination) to reconstitute
PEX10 knockout gene, inhibiting Beta Oxidation that will
potentially metabolize DHA into other fatty acids
