Abstract:

The paper presents the possibilities of using some microorganisms as a potential source of biologically active polyenoic fatty acids. The reasons for usingmicroorganisms for this purpose are among others, high yield, invariability ofoil composition, independence from traditional agricultural conditions, efficient processing of cheap agro-food substrates and predisposition of microorganisms to biotransformations enabling tailoring of lipids. The following issueswere discussed in particular: the methods suitable for the synthesis of specificfatty acids, oils of predicted composition, induced mutagenesis, genetic engineering of microorganisms, addition of inhibitors or activators of fatty acidbiosynthesis to the growth medium, enzymatic modification of the oils, andproduction conditions ie recovery and processing of microbial oils.
