The present invention relates to an oil of microorganisms rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3), comprising more than 60% of DHA relative to the total mass of fat and to the use thereof for human or animal feed, in particular for feeding infants, children, or pregnant or lactating women.

Oil of microorganisms rich in docosahexaenoic acid

A method for culturing a protist of thegenus. The genus is characterized genetically and by virtue of the lipid profile thereof. The method makes it possible to obtain a high biomass yield and a lipid, and more particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), enrichment of the protists thus cultured. The development of a culture medium allows the production, at high cell density, of a DHA-rich protest of thegenus. The medium is chemically defined at low sodium ion (Na) and chloride ion (Cl) content.

Method for culturing microalgae of the aurantiochytrium genus in a culture medium without chloride and without sodium for the production of DHA

Disclosed are novel strains of protists belonging to thegenus that allow the high yield production of lipids and carotenoids, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and canthaxanthin and/or astaxanthin, in mixotrophic mode, in particular, using variable and/or discontinuous provision of light, in particular in the form of flashes.

Method for the production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or of carotenoids from aurantiochytrium

New strains of microalgae belonging to thegenus, allow high-yield production of lipids, in particular of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and/or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or carotenoids, in particular fucoxanthin, in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a variable and/or discontinuous light source, in particular a flashing light.

[object Object]

Novel strains of microalgae belonging to thegenus enable the production of lipids, in particular lutein, in mixotrophic mode, as well as a method for selecting and culturing the strains using a variable and/or discontinuous supply of light, in particular in the form of flashes.
