“…All microorganisms are capable of synthesizing lipids, but only those referred to as oleaginous can accumulate significant amounts of them. Single-cell oils, or so-called microbial oils, are lipids produced by microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, molds, and algae [33,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. Their properties and composition depend entirely on the microorganisms involved in their biosynthesis.…”

“…For example, a culture of Y. lipolytica W29 in a medium with eucalyptus bark hydrolysate with a high concentration of glucose and xylose allows for the production of lipids-rich biomass. A biosynthesis yield of 26% (5.6 g/L) can be achieved, and the lipids consist of more than 85% of unsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid (48.4%), palmitoleic (20.2%), linoleic (17.1%), and palmitic acids (14.3%) [71].…”

Plant and animal oils and fats currently dominate the edible oil market, but a new sustainable alternative of lipids from single-celled organisms has become advantageous in human nutrition and pharmacy. Single-cell oils (SCOs) are lipids biosynthesized and accumulated in the lipid bodies of oleaginous species of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and algae. The review has investigated SCOs’ composition, with a detailed review of the described beneficial impact in medicine, cosmetics, pharmacy, and nutrition. Although microbial oil has been known for more than 100 years, it was not applied until the 21st century, when commercial SCO production for human use started and administrative regulations governing their use were completed. This article discusses the applications of SCOs, which can be easily found in microorganisms, in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. In addition, some aspects of 15- or 17-carbon-atom-long fatty acids were also pointed out. Furthermore, some challenges for heterotrophic single-cell oil synthesis and improvements in its extraction efficiency have also been concluded, which can further contribute to their broadened use in pharmacy, medicine, cosmetics, and food applications.
