  • Methods of microbial oil extraction and separation
    Patent number: 11542456
    Abstract: Lipids can be extracted from a microbial biomass that constitutes at least 20% lipids by weight and has a moisture content of less than 4% by weight by applying pressure to the biomass so as to release lipids therefrom, thereby leaving a biomass of reduced lipid content; and collecting the lipids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023
    Assignee: Corbion Biotech, Inc.
    Inventors: Jon Wittenberg, Felipe Arana Rodriguez
