The present invention relates to processes for the production of arachidonic acid containing oils, which preferably are substantially free of eicosapentaneoic acid. The invention also relates to compositions containing such oils, in an unmodified form, and to uses of such oils. In a preferred embodi ...
Methods are provided for generating highly diverse mixtures of compounds which may be screened for biological activities. Once the activity is found, the component of the mixture which is responsible for the activity can be isolated by fractionation and assay for the biological activity. Polyhydroxy ...
The present invention relates to compositions including blends of microbial oils, methods of using such compositions, particularly as supplements for infant formula, and methods of increasing the amount of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in infant formula.
This invention relates to a process for producing a single cell edible oil containing DHA, to the oil itself and to uses for the oil. Marine microorganisms are cultivated in fermentors and induced to produce the single cell oil which subsequently is recovered by extraction with solvents.
The present invention relates to compositions including blends of microbial oils, methods of using such compositions, particularly as supplements for infant formula, and methods of increasing the amount of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in infant formula.
This invention describes a process for producing single cell edible oils containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from heterotrophic diatoms. The diatoms are cultivated in a fermentor in a nutrient solution containing nitrogen and silicate. Withdrawal of the nitrogen followed by withdrawal of the sili ...
A photobioreactor for the cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms comprises a tank, one or more light compartments extending into the tank and one or more high intensity lamps whose light is directed into the light compartments. Each light compartment has at least one transparent wall and a mea ...
An apparatus is disclosed for the controlled production of microorganisms by photosynthesis in a closed photobioreactor. The closed photobioreactor contain a photosynthetic culture in a substantially sealed environment and provides a system for recirculating the reactant gas through the culture. Thi ...
A photobioreactor for the cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms is disclosed wherein a plurality of baffles are mounted in the photobioreactor tank forming hollow cavities which enable the insertion of light sources through openings in the tank wall. The baffles shield the light sources house ...
The present invention relates to a photobioreactor for the cultivation of photosynthetic micoorganisms having at least one light bank substantially totally immersible in the liquid microbial culture contained in the photobioreactor so that substantially all of the emitted light is absorbed in the cu ...
