Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a method for generating an oil/fat component by means of culturing algae, in which marine algae belonging to Chlamydomonas are cultured in a culture medium containing sea salt.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for generating an oil/fat component by means of culturing algae, the method comprising: culturing marine algae belonging to Chlamydomonas in a culture medium containing sea salt. 2 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 1 , wherein the algae belonging to Chlamydomonas are Chlamydomonas sp. JSC4. 3 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 1 , wherein, the amount of nitrate in the culture containing sea salt measured using a wavelength of 220 nm is 10 mg/L or less. 4 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass % of the sea salt in the culture medium is in the range of 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass. 5 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 1 , wherein the culture medium containing sea salt contains one of the group consisting of seawater, concentrated seawater, and artificial seawater. 6 . A method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid, the method comprising: hydrolyzing an oil/fat component obtained by the method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 1 . 7 . The method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid according to claim 6 , wherein the higher unsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid or linolenic acid. 8 . Chlamydomonas sp. JSC4 which has an oil/fat component producing ability. 9 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 2 , wherein, the amount of nitrate in the culture containing sea salt measured using a wavelength of 220 nm is 10 or less. 10 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 2 , wherein the mass % of the sea salt in the culture medium is in the range of 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass. 11 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 3 , wherein the mass % of the sea salt in the culture medium is in the range of 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass. 12 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 9 , wherein the mass % of the sea salt in the culture medium is in the range of 0.5% by mass to 5% by mass. 13 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 2 , wherein the culture medium containing sea salt contains one of the group consisting of seawater, concentrated seawater, and artificial seawater. 14 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 3 , wherein the culture medium containing sea salt contains one of the group consisting of seawater, concentrated seawater, and artificial seawater. 15 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 4 , wherein the culture medium containing sea salt contains one of the group consisting of seawater, concentrated seawater, and artificial seawater. 16 . The method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 9 , wherein the culture medium containing sea salt contains one of the group consisting of seawater, concentrated seawater, and artificial seawater. 17 . A method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid, the method comprising: hydrolyzing an oil/fat component obtained by the method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 2 . 18 . A method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid, the method comprising: hydrolyzing an oil/fat component obtained by the method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 3 . 19 . A method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid, the method comprising: hydrolyzing an oil/fat component obtained by the method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 4 . 20 . A method for producing a higher unsaturated fatty acid, the method comprising: hydrolyzing an oil/fat component obtained by the method for generating an oil/fat component according to claim 5 .
