Title:
MICROBIAL LIPID PRODUCTION PROCESS AND COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAID LIPIDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/017610
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing lipids from hexoses and pentoses of various origins, using oleaginous micro-organisms. The resultant lipids are similar to vegetable oils and can be used instead of the latter, including in the production of biodiesel.
