  • 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
  • Patent number: 10344305
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for the production of dielectric fluids from lipids produced by microorganisms are provided, including oil-bearing microorganisms and methods of low cost cultivation of such microorganisms. Microalgal cells containing exogenous genes encoding, for example, a sucrose transporter, a sucrose invertase, a fructokinase, a polysaccharide-degrading enzyme, a lipid pathway modification enzyme, a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase, a desaturase, a fatty acyl-CoA/aldehyde reductase, and/or an acyl carrier protein are useful in manufacturing dielectric fluids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2019
    Assignee: CORBION BIOTECH, INC.
