Nannochloropsis is a group of unicellular eukaryotes that belong to the class Eustigmatophyceae. Currently, there are seven identified species in this genus that have high photosynthetic efficiency, biomass and oil content (triacylglycerol, or TAG), and are rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), making them high-quality raw materials for the industrial production of EPA.
