“…Although most of the isolates appeared white to creamcolored, it is worthwhile to mention that 25% of all the isolates have somewhat pale orange appearance, which may signify carotenoid or xanthophyll production (Aki et al, 2003;Atienza et al, 2012). Thus far, there has only been one report of carotenoids in Philippine thraustochytrids (Atienza et al, 2012). This study, therefore, can be an encouraging new starting point for those interested in studying about carotenogenous Philippine thraustochytrids and their prevalence in the country.…”

Thraustochytrids are marine protists that can be abundantly found on fallen mangrove leaves. These organisms are drawing attention from scientists and commercial manufacturers alike primarily because they are able to produce omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in copious amounts within their cells. Scientists from Brazil, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand have capitalized on their country’s thraustochytrids; yet, in the Philippines only a limited number of researches have been conducted on these organisms. Thus, the significance of this research is to further investigate, supplement additional information, and add to the number of existing studies on the thraustochytrids from Philippine mangroves. This research isolated, purified, and characterized thraustochytrids present in yellow, yellow brown, and brown leaves from two (2) mangrove species—Avicennia and Rhizophora spp. in Pagbilao Mangrove Forest. The thraustochytrids from each leaf sample of the two mangrove species were isolated and purified on GYPSA (Glucose Yeast Peptone Sea Salt Agar) media. Morphological characterization was done through microscopy for partial identification. The isolates present on fallen mangrove leaves from Pagbilao, Quezon were preliminarily identified as morphologically indicative to either be Aurantiochytrium, Hondaea, or Monorhizochytrium.

Thraustochytrids, heterotrophic protists were first reported in 1934 and then on several isolates were reported across the world and their advantageous and harmful properties have been explored and utilised. They are oleaginous saprophytic marine heterokontophytes and are emerging as an alternative oil source in pharmaceutical and aquaculture industries. These are known for their role in marine food web and nutritional recycling and are commercially exploited for their ability to produce abundant nutraceutical fatty acids, particularly long-chain poly unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and squalene. This review gives an insight on the available information on taxonomy, morphology, biodiversity and utilisation of Thraustochytrids and also identifies the knowledge gap and understanding in the field of Thraustochytrids and their importance in polyunsaturated fatty acids enriched commercial products.
