摘要

[Problem] To provide a Labyrinthulid microorganism capable of producing a PUFA only through the elongase-desaturase pathway. [Solution] A Labyrinthulid microorganism which does not have an ability of producing a PUFA through the endogenous PUFA-PKS pathway or has the ability at an extremely weak level and which has an ability of producing a PUFA through the endogenous elongase-desaturase pathway. The Labyrinthulid microorganism is a microorganism belonging to the genus Parietichytrium or Parietichytrium
