MICROFLORAL BIOMASS CONTAINING OMEGA-3 HIGHLY UNSATURATED FATTY ACID IN HIGH CONCENTRATION

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microbial phase for producing an omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid in a high concentration and to provide a method for growing the same microbial phase. PSOLUTION: The microbial phase is grown in fermentation medium containing non-chloride containing sodium salts, in particular sodium sulfate to produce the microfloral biomass composed of Thraustochytrium, Schizochytrium, and mixtures thereof and containing an omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid in a high concentration. The resultant microfloral biomass contains a cell aggregate size useful for the production of food products for use in aquaculture. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
