1. A process for producing omega-6-fatty acids by fermentation, characterized in that dilates are cultured in a culture medium to which γ
- -linolenic acid precursor molecules and acetate are added and in which the γ
-linolenic acid is isolated from the ciliates after the culture is terminated, and wherein the acetate is added 20–
39 hours after the start of the culture.

Abstract
The intention 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.
