Abstract
Provided herein are microorganism of a Thraustochytrid and a method for preparing bio-oil using the same, and more particularly, Schizochytrium sp. PB31 (PTA-123692) having bio-oil producibility, and a method of preparing bio-oil, particularly bio-oil having a content of omega-3 and/or 6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of 30% or more by weight or more based on total fatty acids, characterized by culturing the microorganism.
Claims20
A method of preparing a bio-oil, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) culturing Schizochytrium sp. PB31 having ATCC accession number PTA-123692, wherein the Schizochytrium sp. PB31 having ATCC accession number PTA-123692 comprises a disruption of a Pfs B;
- and
- (2) collecting a cultured cell biomass and
- (3) extracting and separating the bio-oil containing an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid or an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
