Thraustochytrids, fatty acid compositions, and methods of making and uses thereof

摘要

Disclosed is an isolated thraustochytrid microorganism, or a strain derived therefrom, comprising a triglyceride fraction, wherein the docosahexaenoic acid content of the triglyceride fraction is at least about 40% by weight, wherein the docosapentaenoic acid n-6 content of the triglyceride fraction is from at least about 0.5% by weight to about 6% by weight, and wherein the total fatty acids produced by the microorganism or strain derived therefrom comprise about 10% or less by weight of eicosapentaenoic acid.
