Abstract: A method for culturing a protist of the Aurantiochytrium mangrovei genus. The genus is characterized genetically and by virtue of the lipid profile thereof. The method makes it possible to obtain a high biomass yield and a lipid, and more particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), enrichment of the protists thus cultured. The development of a culture medium allows the production, at high cell density, of a DHA-rich protest of the Aurantiochytrium mangrovei genus. The medium is chemically defined at low sodium ion (Na+) and chloride ion (Cl?) content.

Abstract: New strains of protists belonging to the Schizochytrium genus, allow high-yield production of lipids and carotenoids, in particular of astaxanthin and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a variable and/or discontinuous light source, in particular a flashing light.

Abstract: Novel strains of microalgae belonging to the Monodus genus allow optimum production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably EPA, in mixotrophic mode. A method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a discontinuous supply of light in the form of flashes is also described.
Abstract: Novel strains of microalgae belonging to the Isochrysis genus, allowing optimum production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably EPA, in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a discontinuous supply of light in the form of flashes are described.
Abstract: A novel strain of microalga of the Odontella genus, capable of growing in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such a strain allow production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably EPA and DHA, in heterotrophic or mixotrophic mode.
Abstract: Novel strains of microalgae which belong to the Botryococcus genus and which can grow in a mixotrophic mode, and a cultivation method which includes providing light in the form of flashes for the production of lipids and hydrocarbons, in particular in the form of botryococcenes, which are useful in the production of biofuel.
Abstract: A novel method for culturing mixotrophic single-cell algae makes it possible to enrich the lipid content of these algae, the enrichment being induced by a variable or discontinuous provision of light, in particular in the form of flashes.
