Both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) have attracted increasing attention since the first epidemiological report on the importance of n-3 essential fatty acids. Lipids in microbial cells play various biological roles and, consequently, much research has been carried out on their role in cell physiology. The lipid composition of microorganisms can exhibit considerable variations depending on environment. The effects of culture conditions, temperature (15, 20, 24, 28, 32 and $36^{\circ}C$), salinity (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 psu), pH (pH5, 6, 7, 8 and 9), rotation speeds (50, 100, 150 and 200 rpm), carbon sources, nitrogen sources and C/N ratio on the production of docosahexaenoic acid, fatty-acid profiles, and acids secreted to the broth culture by the oleaginous microorganism, Schizochytrium mangrovei (KCTC 11117BP), were studied. Temperature (initially $28^{\circ}C$), salinity (20 psu), pH (pH7), rotation speeds (100 rpm), organism fatty acids, and secreted acids in the broth were varied during cultivation of S. mangrovei. At pH 7.0, S. mangrovei was able to accumulate lipids up to 40% of its biomass, with 13% (w/w) DHA content. The monosaccharides glucose and fructose, and yeast extract were suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The primary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid produced was docosahexaenoic acid.

대두박을 해양미세조류(Schizochytrium mangrovi MM103)로 발효하여 제조한 DHA 발효 대두박을 시판 농협사료와 3%, 5%, 10% 혼합하여 육계 병아리용과 산란계용 실험 사료를 조제하였다. 실험 사료를 3주간 급여하면 DHA 발효 대두박 농도와 관계없이 육계가슴육과 다리근육 및 계란에서 지방중 DHA 농도가 시판 사료 급여에 비하여 높아졌다. DHA 발효 대두박 10% 사료를 급여한 육계 병아리 가슴살과 다리근육 및 계란에서 각각 2.21%와 2.02% 및 1.88%로 증가하였다. 6주간 실험 사육하면 가슴살과 다리근육 및 계란 지방의 DHA 함량이 각각 5.10%와 2.48% 및 3.42%로 실험사육 기간의 경과에 따라 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 DHA 발효 대두박은 DHA 함유 가금육 및 계란 생산에 이용 가능하다는 것을 나타내었다.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) and ecosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) have attracted increasing attention since the first epidemiological report on the importance of n-3 essential fatty acids. It is thought that DHA has important functions in brain and retinal tissues. Thraustochytrids, a group of marine protists, are capable of heterotrophic growth, and are potential omega-3 producers for industrial use, especially the members of the Schizochytrium and Thraustochytrium genera. The aims of this work were to isolate, identify and screen thraustochytrids from 17 different locations. Twenty-three isolates were screened for biomass, total fatty acid (TFA) and DHA content. Analysis of the fatty acid methyl esters revealed four distinct clusters biomass ranged from $8.68-9.36gL^{-1}$, and lipid and DHA contents ranged from $3.11-4.10gL^{-1}$ and $1.05-1.93gL^{-1}$ biomass, respectively. B-12 isolates were screened for biomass ($9.36gL^{-1}$), TFA ($4.10gL^{-1}$) and DHA (47.01%, w/w) content. C-6 isolates were also screened for biomass ($8.92gL^{-1}$), TFA ($3.30gL^{-1}$) and DHA (49.41%, w/w) content. The 18S rRNA gene sequencing results identified Schizochytrium mangrovei as B-12 and Crypthecodium cohnii as C-6.

Aquatic fungi from four brackish water lakes; Edku, Burullus and Manzala lakes which are located at the northern region of Egypt and Qarun lake that located in El-Fayoum city are reported in this manuscript. Twenty-nine fungal species which belong to 19 genera of aquatic fungi were recovered from water samples collected from the studied lakes. The most frequently isolated fungal species were Chytridium conferrop, Allomyces throughout and Rhizoclosmatium globosum. Thraustochytrium amoeboidum and Leptolegniella exoosporus have a moderately occurrence frequency. The maximum fungal count of recovered aquatic fungi was recorded in Burrullus lake followed by EdKu, Manzala and Qarun lakes. This study was extended to test the ability of six selected aquatic fungi(Brevilegniella keratinophila, Blastocladiella cystogena, Chytridium conferrop, Entophlyctis variabilis, Schizochytrium mangrovei and Thraustochytrium rosin), to uptake the radionuclide from their culture medium as a step to biologically treat the waste water or solution with radio-cesium and radio-cobalt. Fifty seven of Cs-137 and 35% of Co-60 could be removed from liquid waste by the selected aquatic fungi.
