Abstract

The present invention is directed to isolated thraustochytrid microorganisms as well as strains and mutants thereof. The invention is further directed to biomasses, microbial oils, compositions, cultures, methods of producing microbial oils, and methods of using the isolated thraustochytrids, biomasses, and microbial oils.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A food product, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical composition for animals or humans, comprising a microbial oil produced from an isolated thraustochytrid species deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-9695, wherein the total fatty acids produced by said microorganism comprise 10% or less by weight eicosapentaenoic acid.

2. The food product of claim 1 , wherein the food product is an infant formula.

3. The food product of claim 2 , wherein the infant formula can be consumed by premature infants.

4. The food product of claim 1 , wherein the food product is milk, a beverage, a therapeutic drink, a nutritional drink, or a combination thereof.

5. The food product of claim 1 , wherein the food product is an additive for animal or human food.

6. The food product of claim 1 , wherein the food product is a nutritional supplement.

7. The food product of claim 1 , wherein the food product is an animal feed.
