Abstract
Schizochytrium is an effective species for producing omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Here, we report a genome sequence of Schizochytrium sp. CCTCC M209059, which has a genome size of 39.09 Mb. It will provide the genomic basis for further insights into the metabolic and regulatory mechanisms underlying the DHA formation.

The product quality derived from fish oil is dependent on season and position and is affected by ocean pollution
Schizochytrium sp., which was first derived from coastal seawater as a new thraustochytrid by Nakahara et al [3], has been widely used to produce DHA
Summary
Schizochytrium is an effective species for producing omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), one of the most typical omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, has received worldwide attention due to its beneficial physiological functions for humans [1, 2]. DHA can be obtained from marine fungal oils (lipids). Schizochytrium sp., which was first derived from coastal seawater as a new thraustochytrid by Nakahara et al [3], has been widely used to produce DHA.
