First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for producing omega-6-fatty acids, by fermentation, characterized in that ciliates are cultured in a culture medium to which γ
- -linolenic acid precursor molecules are added and in which the γ
-linolenic acid is isolated from the ciliates after the culture is terminated.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the fermentative production of lipids/fatty acids having high concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids (PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids), especially γ-linolenic acids (GLA) in ciliates. Said lipids/fatty acids can be used in human/animal food, and in the pharmaceutical field.
