Engineering xylose metabolism in thraustochytrid T18 [PDF]
Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic, oleaginous, marine protists with a significant potential for biofuel production. High-value co-products can off-set production costs; however, the cost of raw materials, and in particular carbon, is a major challenge to developing an economical viable production process.

Diverse Enzymes With Industrial Applications in Four Thraustochytrid Genera
Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic fungus-like protists that can dissolve organic matters with enzymes. Four strains, AP45, ASP1, ASP2, and ASP4, were isolated from the coastal water of Taiwan, and respectively identified as Aurantiochytrium sp ...

Abundance of thraustochytrids in coastal plankton [PDF]
The abundance of thraustochytrids was investigated in and off the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. Thraustochytrid cells were stained with acriflavine and counted directly by epifluorescence rnicroscopy. Thraustochytrids were present in the water column at a density of 2.1 X 103 to 5.6 X 10' cells I-', with an overall average of 1.0 X 104 cells I-', which was ...

Thraustochytrids (fungoid protist): an unexplored component of marine sediment microbiota
Thraustochytrids are poorly known fungoid protists able to decompose refractory organic substrates such as cellulose. These microorganisms probably play an important role in the microbial loop of marine sediments.

Draft genome sequence of the docosahexaenoic acid producing thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. T66
Thraustochytrids are unicellular, marine protists, and there is a growing industrial interest in these organisms, particularly because some species, including strains belonging to the genus Aurantiochytrium, accumulate high levels of docosahexaenoic acid
