The invention relates to the screening of an unreported strain ofthraustochytrid - SC1 producing significant amounts of Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) and also accumulate their respective intermediate fatty acids inaddition to DHA. This organism has been isolated from the backwaters of Goa byPollen Baiting method. The fatty acid profile and the 18S ribosomal sequencesof each of this organism has been disclosed indicating its molecularphylogeny. The organism on further study can be very significant for theirutilization in the commercial production of DHA.
