Patent granted for cjmo1 microalgae of thraustochytrium genus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11773417B2) discloses a specific strain of microalgae called CJMO1, which belongs to the Thraustochytrium genus. This strain has been deposited under the accession number KCTC 13538BP.
The patent claims that CJMO1 microalgae contain a high amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), ranging from 40% to 60% of the total weight of fatty acids. DHA is a valuable omega-3 fatty acid known for its health benefits.
Furthermore, the patent claims that CJMO1 microalgae have a high productivity of DHA, ranging from 0.5 to 0.7 grams per liter per hour. This indicates that the microalgae can efficiently produce DHA in significant quantities.
The patent also describes methods for producing biomass and bio-oil using CJMO1 microalgae. In the biomass production method, the microalgae are cultured under heterotrophic conditions, meaning they obtain their energy from organic carbon sources. The culturing process involves using a culture medium containing a carbon source (such as glucose, fructose, or glycerol) and a nitrogen source (either organic, like yeast extract or beef extract, or inorganic, like ammonium nitrate or urea). The biomass produced through this method can be used to recover DHA.
Similarly, the bio-oil production method involves culturing CJMO1 microalgae and recovering lipids containing DHA from the microalgae or its cultured, dried, or pulverized products. This bio-oil can be a valuable source of DHA for various applications.
In summary, this granted patent highlights the CJMO1 microalgae strain, which belongs to the Thraustochytrium genus and has a high content and productivity of DHA. The patent also discloses methods for producing biomass and bio-oil using this microalgae strain, providing potential avenues for commercial production of DHA-rich products.
