An acidic morpholine derivative containing glyceride from thraustochytrid, Aurantiochytrium [PDF]
AbstractA novel acidic morpholine-derivative containing glyceride (M-glyceride) was isolated from the cells of two strains of the thraustochytrid, Aurantiochytrium. The glyceride accounted for approximately 0.1 -0.4% of the lyophilized cells. The glyceride consisted of peaks I (85%) and II (15%).

Thraustochytrids are known to synthesize PUFAs such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Accumulating evidence suggests the presence of two synthetic pathways of PUFAs in thraustochytrids: the polyketide synthase-like (PUFA synthase) and desaturase/elongase ...

Production of docosahexaenoic acid by Aurantiochytrium sp. ATCC PRA-276 [PDF]
The high costs and environmental concerns associated with using marine resources as sources of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have prompted searches for alternative sources of such oils.

How do algae oils change the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids market?☆
The health benefits of a diet rich in omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) no longer need to be proven. However, while health authorities attempt to increase the consumption of the n-3 LC-PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and ...

Thraustochytrids, such as Aurantiochytrium and Schizochytrium, have been shown as a promising sustainable alternative to fish oil due to its ability to accumulate a high level of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from its total fatty acids. However, the low DHA

Evolutionary distinctiveness of fatty acid and polyketide synthesis in eukaryotes [PDF]
© 2016 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved. Fatty acids, which are essential cell membrane constituents and fuel storage molecules, are thought to share a common evolutionary origin with polyketide toxins in eukaryotes.

Genus-specific quantitative PCR of thraustochytrid protists [PDF]
Thraustochytrids have the capability to recycle refractory organic matter, with a resulting im- pact on carbon cycling in coastal and open seawaters. The abundance of thraustochytrids has traditionally been estimated by acriflavine direct counting. How- ever, this technique may lead to over- or underestima- tion. To accurately quantify the abundance of

Thraustochytrids are marine protists that naturally accumulate triacylglycerol with long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as ω3-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
