Title:
PROCESS FOR PREPARING HIGHLY UNSATURATED FATTY ACID AND LIPID CONTAINING HIGHLY UNSATURATED FATTY ACID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/039468
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for preparing a highly unsaturated fatty acid, characterized by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Mortierella and resistant to a carbon source in a medium having a carbon source concentration of at least 4 % by weight at the time of the initiation of the culture and harvesting a highly unsaturated fatty acid from the culture. Culturing for about one week can provide a highly unsaturated fatty acid in an amount of at least about 7 g/l.
