PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide microbial oils produced by microorganisms exhibiting high productivity and desirable long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid profiles, and methods of utilizing the same.SOLUTION: There is provided a microbial oil comprising at least about 20 wt.% of eicosapentaenoic acid, and less than about 5 wt.% each of arachidonic acid, docosapentaenoic acid n-6, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosenoic acid, erucic acid and stearidonic acid, produced by microorganisms isolated from the natural world. Also provided are human foods, cosmetics or pharmaceutical compositions and animal feeds which contain the microbial oil.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】高い生産性及び望ましい長鎖多価不飽和脂肪酸プロファイルを示す微生物が産生する微生物油の提供とその利用方法。【解決手段】自然界より単離した微生物による、少なくとも約20重量％のエイコサペンタエン酸ならびにそれぞれ約5重量％未満のアラキドン酸、ドコサペンタエン酸n-6、オレイン酸、リノール酸、リノレン酸、エイコセン酸、エルカ酸、およびステアリドン酸を含む微生物油、及び本微生物油を含ヒト用の食品、化粧品、または薬学的組成物、動物用飼料の提供。【選択図】なし
