Taiwan indigenous algae strain rich in DHA content discovered, researchers say
A National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) research team has discovered an indigenous algae that is rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) , containing 10 times as much of the omega-3 fatty acid as existing DHA supplements such as fish oil. The indigenous DHA-rich algae strain, called BL10, was discovered after the team isolated, cultivated and identified marine microalgae from 10 marine habitats around Taiwan.
