New labyrinthulid strains were isolated. One strain contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) only among polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and another contains only n-6 docosapentaenoic acid (n-6DPA). The growth optimization for labyrinthulid has revealed that the growth was accelerated in an oil-dispersed solid medium. Using growth character of labyrinthulids, we developed a new method of DHA/DPA production from food waste.
