The concept of using microorganisms as sources of oils and fats has a long history. The
commercial opportunities of such processes have been continuously examined for nearly a …

Because of their characteristic living environments, marine organisms produce a variety of
lipids. Fatty acids constitute the essential part of triglycerides and wax esters, which are the …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential components of higher eukaryotes. Single
cell oils (SCO) are now widely accepted in the market place and there is a growing …

Although some interest in growing microalgae heterotrophically for the production of
pigments was generated in the 1960s, only minimal commercial research was focused on …

Culture conditions of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 for the purpose of microbial
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production were investigated. The strain SR21 showed a wide …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid composed of 22 carbon atoms
and six double bonds. Because the first double bond, as counted from the methyl terminus …

Thraustochytrids are common marine microheterotrophs, taxonomically aligned with
heterokont algae. Recent studies have shown that some thraustochytrid strains can be …

The culture conditions for high-yield production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by
Schizochytrium sp. strain SR21 were investigated in a fermenter. With increasing carbon …

A marine microbe (strain SR21) from the coral reef area of the Yap Islands was isolated by a
screening test for polyunsaturated fatty acids and was found to accumulate lipid that …

This treatment provides an updated account of mangrove biodiversity patterns and evolution
based on ancestral biogeography and extant floristics. Mangrove plants occur where they do …
