Production of polyunsatured fatty acids (PUFAs) by algae : a complete bioprocessing concept for the large-scale production of high quality DHA-containing oils.

Exploitable results

Production of high value added products such as PUFAs or feed for aquaculture by (heterotrophic) marine microorganisms

In the current research a reliable and reproducible large scale fermentation and bioprocessing concept is developed for the microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that can be used for (infant) food, aquaculture or pharmaceutical applications. In the process heterotrophic marine microorganisms are used.
