Thraustochytrium sp. and Aurantiochytrium sp.: Sustainable Alternatives for Squalene Production [PDF]

Marine Drugs
This study investigated a sustainable alternative to squalene production utilizing Thraustochytrium sp. and Aurantiochytrium sp., thereby reducing dependence on critically endangered sharks exploited for this compound. By optimizing fed-batch cultivation,

Increase of Eicosapentaenoic Acid in Thraustochytrids through Thraustochytrid Ubiquitin Promoter-Driven Expression of a Fatty Acid Δ5 Desaturase Gene [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
Thraustochytrids, marine protists known to accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in lipid droplets, are considered an alternative to fish oils as a source of PUFAs. The major fatty acids produced in thraustochytrids are palmitic acid (C

Single Amino Acids as Sole Nitrogen Source for the Production of Lipids and Coenzyme Q by Thraustochytrium sp. RT2316-16 [PDF]

Microorganisms
This work analyzes the production of total lipids and the content of CoQ9 and CoQ10 in the biomass of Thraustochytrium sp. RT2316-16 grown in media containing a single amino acid at a concentration of 1 g L−1 as the sole nitrogen source; glucose (5 g L−1)

Overlooked components of lipid metabolism: Odd-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract This mini‐review examines odd‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (odd‐PUFAs), a rare but biologically significant group of fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. Odd‐PUFAs are straight‐chain fatty acids containing an odd number of carbon atoms and two or more methylene‐interrupted double bonds. They typically account for less than 1% of

Abundance and Novel Lineages of Thraustochytrids in Hawaiian Waters

Microbial Ecology, 2013
National Natural Science Foundation of China [31170109]; NOAA [NA04OAR4600196, NA09AOR4170060]Thraustochydrids has been known for their ubiquitous distribution in the ocean. However, a few efforts have been made to investigate their ecology.

Genetic Analysis of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Biosynthesis Pathway Determines Four Distinct Thraustochytrid Types. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Thraustochytrids exhibit four distinct polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthetic types: Type I (ELO/DES pathway), Type II (dual‐pathway) and Types III–IV (PUFA‐S pathway with varying gene losses). This genetic diversity in PUFA biosynthesis pathways provides new perspectives for understanding their evolutionary relationships and potential ...

Single-Cell Oils from Oleaginous Microorganisms as Green Bio-Lubricants: Studies on Their Tribological Performance

Energies, 2021
Biolubricants refer to eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic lubricants. Their applications are still limited compared to mineral oils; however, their sustainable credentials are making them increasingly attractive.

Screening of a Thraustochytrid Strain Collection for Carotenoid and Squalene Production Characterized by Cluster Analysis, Comparison of 18S rRNA Gene Sequences, Growth Behavior, and Morphology

Marine Drugs, 2023
Carotenoids and squalene are important terpenes that are applied in a wide range of products in foods and cosmetics. Thraustochytrids might be used as alternative production organisms to improve production processes, but the taxon is rarely studied.

Bioprospecting of novel thraustochytrids from Scotland for high value compounds [PDF]

, 2021
Thraustochytrids are marine microheterotrophs and important producers of many industrially relevant compounds such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), extracellular enzymes, carotenoids, and proteins.
