Development and Prospect of Microbial Oils

Abstract

Microbial oils has been studied for many years, research shows that a variety of oleaginous microorganisms, such as yeast, fungi, bacteria, and microalgae can produce oils. The composition of microbial oils are C16:0, C18:1 and C18:2, The research of microbial oils focuses on food and Health care products other fields, especially in the field of bio-energy have been more and more attention, this paper introduced the development process of the microbial oils and the superiority of microbial oils in the bio-energy.
