Project name: Nannochloropsis gaditana strain:CCMP527

Description: Nannochloropsis is a marine unicellular algae that is commonly cultivated in marine fish hatcheries as live feed for rotifers and fish larvae. Due to it's high content of omega-3-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, it is a promising candidate for large scale production of these fatty acids.
