Abstract: Thraustochytrids are unicellular protists belonging to the Labyrinthulomycetes class, which are characterized by the presence of a high lipid content that could replace conventional fatty acids. They show a wide geographic distribution, however their diversity in the Antarctic Region is rather scarce. The analysis based on the complete sequence of 18S rRNA gene showed that strain 34-2 belongs to the species Thraustochytrium kinnei, with 99% identity. The total lipid profile shows a wide range of saturated fatt… Show more

“…Most of the thraustochytrid strains studied for the DHA production in previous research were isolated from tropical and sub-tropical regions [11,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,23,25,40,41,42]. Only a few studies focused on DHA production in thraustochytrids from temperate habitats [13,17,43,44]. It has been suggested that microorganisms isolated from a low-temperature environment tend to produce more PUFAs [45].…”

“…Labyrinthulomycetes are the most ubiquitous and widespread straminipilan protists in oceans with a total of 13 known genera and 30 described species so far [10]. They have been isolated, using the direct-plating and pollen-baiting methods, from various habitats (e.g., marine seawater, estuarine water, sediments, decaying mangrove leaves, and senescent macroalgae) [11,12,13,14,15,16]. Yet, the majority of the species described are isolated from only a limited number of coastal regions, for example, Japan [17], Australia [12,18], Canada [19], India [20,21,22], Chile [11], China [23], Malaysia [24,25], and Thailand [26].…”

“…Thraustochytrids are heterotrophic protists found ubiquitously in the marine environment with a wide geographic distribution from polar regions including the Antarctic Peninsula [1] and Iceland [2] to the tropics in Malaysia, India, Australia and other countries [3][4][5][6]. It is considered that thraustochytrids play an important role in the marine ecosystem; they can be bacterivores, detritivores and parasites [6][7][8].…”

“…Microorganisms contain lipid in their cytoplasmic membrane therefore considered as rich sources of oils and fats for biodiesel production. (Molina et al, 2017). Biodiesel comprises of fatty acid methyl esters, originating from vegetable oils and animal fats mainly by trans-esterification of triacylglycerols (TAGs) or from free fatty acids has drawn attention as an ecofriendly, renewable substitute, biodegradable and nontoxic fuel (Easterling et al, 2009;Papanikolaou et al, 2008).…”
