Eicosapentaenoic acid-producing microorganisms, fatty acid compositions, and methods of making and uses thereof
First Claim
1. A microbial oil comprising 20% to 40% by weight of eicosapentaenoic acid, at least 25% by weight of docosahexaenoic acid and less than 5% by weight of each arachidonic acid, docosapentaenoic acid n-6, docosapentaenoic acid n-3, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosenoic acid, erucic acid, and stearidonic acid in the total of fatty acids, wherein said microbial oil is produced by an isolated strain of thraustochytrid, wherein said microbial oil further comprising an effective amount of at least one added antioxidant to provide oxidative stability.
