Abstract

Fifty-nine clones of the microalga Isochrysis galbana have been isolated and cultivated. All clones were cultivated under identical conditions and were harvested in the stationary phase for fatty acid analysis. There is conspicuous variation in fatty acid profiles between clones, which is probably due to genetic variation among clones. Several clones are very rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (more than 6% of dry weight) and moderately rich in docosahexaenoic acid (more than 2% of dry weight). We suggest the commercial use of some of our clones as an unconventional source of EPA.
