Oils derived from thraustochytrid microorganisms, particularly Schizochytrium sp., are rapidly gaining attention as sustainable feedstocks to replace conventional edible oils for many industrial applications. A novel strain of Schizochytrium sp. (T18) has shown rapid growth under optimized heterotro...
