摘要:
According to the present invention, there can be provided a process for producing 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC), comprising culturing, in a medium, a 7DHC-producing Labyrinthulea microorganism in which sterol 24-C-methyltransferase activity is reduced or lost as compared to a parent strain, allowing 7DHC to be produced and accumulated in the culture, and collecting the 7DHC from the culture; and a process for producing vitamin D3, comprising irradiating, with ultraviolet light, 7-dehydrocholesterol produced by the production process.

摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a microorganism that efficiently produces EPA and a method for producing EPA using the microorganism. The present invention relates to a microorganism having an ability to produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), wherein the microorganism contains a protein composed of an amino acid sequence in which at least one of the amino acid residues at positions 6, 65, 230, 231, and 275 in the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 has been substituted with another amino acid residue (mutated OrfB), and is capable of producing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and the like.
摘要:
According to the present invention, a microorganism belonging to the genus Aurantiochytrium having an 18S rRNA gene consisting of the base sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 5; Aurantiochytrium sp. OH4 strain; a microorganism which is a mutant obtained from the above-mentioned microorganism as a parent strain and has a higher ability to produce DHA than the parent strain; or Aurantiochytrium sp. LTR23 strain is provided. Also, a method for producing a DHA-containing composition, DHA and DHA alkyl ester by a fermentation process using the above-mentioned microorganisms is provided.
