Study on bioconversion of ω-fatty acids extracted from giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes) fish oil was carried out using guinea pig lung homogenate. The fish oil, after hydrolysis to their fatty acids, was incubated aerobically at 37oC in phosphate buffer solution with the addition of guinea pig l...
