title: [Microorganisms as potential producers of essential fatty acids].
abstract: The data on the importance of essential fatty acids in a balanced diet have been considered. The ways of essential fatty acid synthesis in microorganisms and their metabolism in animal tissues are being discussed. The criteria for microorganisms selection--producers of food lipids have been proposed.
